24 feet is a nice distance to practice double taps, target transition drills, presentation, mozambiques, off hand, etc. If it had any value testing the accuracy of a 5" 1911 wouldn't it be more widely used? :? It should have been reported in addition to a traditional accuracy test.
Right. What he said. And I still find it hard to believe that there is someone on staff at TTAGs that cant do any better than a 10.5in group at 8yds with a full sized 1911 (of any manufacture).
From the TTAG SR1911 Review:
"...For me to say a gun lacks accuracy is like a Burger King fry cook claiming that lobster fricassée with polyphenol sauce lacks authenticity. Still, our group's groups at eight yards were about as tight as a 45-year-old hooker. Adam, a man who can dot the "i" of the words "Official Competition" hiding in the corner of an NRA target at 10 yards, managed the best group: two inches. Andre embarrassed himself with a 10.5″ group. Well, I embarrassed him. Here. Ruger says you can use the SR1911 to shoot 1.5″ groups at 25 yards. You and whose Army sniper?"
