Did you shoot it double action? Revolvers rock, that's why. |

Most likely because the grip fits your hand better. Handgun shooting is all about grip.

I tend to prefer semis but I'll be damned if I don't shoot revolvers better. Shooting double-action revolver has definitely made me a better shooter.

Fixed barrel vs short recoil, unlocking barrel makes a difference in mechanical accuracy.

I forgot to ask how about at greater ranges - 10-15-20... meters?

I find revolvers in double action much more predictable than any of my striker fired or even my CZ pistols in regards to trigger pull; the exception being my 1911 Commander because it already has the best designed trigger, IMO. YMMV. So OP, I'm pretty much the same way...

I have shot for years and still shoot my revolvers more accurately than my semi autos as well....<><....:)

As a general rule ( of course there are always exceptions!) revolvers are more inherently accurate than autos ( though it should not make a heap of difference at such close range)
I also tend to shoot revolvers more accurately and up to the reload faster than autos as well. I shoot bullseye competition and use two old smith revolvers, both purchased used for under 300 each. I tend to hold my own against the guys using the fancy euro guns with red dots. My personal experience I used to shoot a police club match that ran a course of fire that included 18 rounds from 50 yards - while my glock and other modern autos were solid from 25 yards and closer, at 50 the revolver ( a beat up police trade in skinny barrel model 10 ) would hold under 5 inch groups at 50 for the 18 rounds while keeping the glocks inside a foot at that range was something of an accomplishment. |

Because you're not pulling the trigger straight back. The longer the trigger pull, the more movement in your shots. Along with you are flinching/anticipating recoil, the low left shots on all your targets.
Put a laser on 1 of those pistols and do some dryfire. The laser dot shouldn't move when you hit the loud button. |

Revolver was shot from double action though. At the end of the day your not pulling the trigger straight back. All 3 targets have a 2 o-clock/8 o-clock line cut in them. That's a sign of jerking & anticipating recoil. Cull those shots out and you're left with a large circle/round hole in the target. You really want to find out what you're doing print up a bunch of shooting wheels and put a 1" paster in the center of them and hang them up and shoot them. Hitting a 1" dot @ 21ft isn't asking a lot. A 10m/11yd/33ft pellet pistol target has a .45" 10-ring. A 50ft nra pistol target has a .9" 10-ring. Not being a smart ass, just shot a lot of targets with pistols. |

You are more accurate because you take your time and aim.

I have always felt the shape of the grip made a big difference in my ability to shoot a revolver well. For me the sloped grips of a revolver is far more ergonomic than the more square shape of a semi-auto. This is especially true if I am shooting one handed.

I have a friend that is amazed at how much more accurate he is with his revolvers. I just laugh. He cocks his double action revolvers before discharging them.
How any specific firearm fits the shooter's hand is what I believe determines it's potential for accuracy. That and trigger quality. The firearms I own that feel like they were made for me shoot the best in my experience. |

I also shoot a revolver better and I believe the answer is the barrel is screwed/pinned to the frame. Unlike a 1911 or what ever the barrel and frame and slide MUST lock up exactly the same every time to be accurate. The revolver is solid. I have a 60 year old model 10 that will print one hole at 21 feet, I can't do that with two 1911's and two glocks. the only thing that comes close is a 1940 German Luger.
As an odd thing, my glock 26 shoots way better that my glock 17. The short barrel locks tighter i guess. tom |
