What is the most accurate shooting Pistol Cartridge Carbine ???

Boy, a can of worms is opened!

This is such a hard question to answer. I have four PPC's and they will shoot different ammo differently. I mean the Marlin doesn't seem to like light 115 gn. bullets but then may shoot very well with heavy 147's....depending on the powder and load .  As for my Beretta Storm, it seem to shoot quite well with any ammo I give it. But then I think my old High Point shot darn well when I fed it what it liked. My two 9mm AR's don't seem to shoot nearly as well as my Beretta Storm. Again, depends on the ammo.

So, from that wandering ramble and me thinking about it, it appears that of my four PPC's the Beretta Storm would be the best shooter of the bunch with random pick of ammo. If only it had a better trigger....  I have never tested every ammo in each rifle however. The AR's don't seem to shoot nearly as well as the Beretta but I am loading up sole ammo samples and have a scope for my 9mm AR's so I can finally figure this out.

My wiselite sterling is extremely accurate, my Vector uzi is probably the least accurate.  Sub 2000 and Calico are in the mid range, although the major limiting factor on the Calico is the short sight radius.

Without doing any extensive testing to verify, my guess is that the Storm is the most accurate of my many PCCs.

I hope to put that to the test soon –– I recently got a factory optic mount for mine and I'm going to see what it will do witha quality red-dot. (When I get time... )

I can put 32 rounds of 9mm in just over 1.5 inches using irons at 25 yards on an UZI.

+1  I can't believe how accurate my Uzi is

Ruger 77/44. Mine will do around an inch at 100 yards.

Sir, you seem to have a very good example of this rifle.

Jeff Quin of Gun Blast says:

"For accuracy testing, I gathered together several .44 Magnum loads, both factory stuff and my handloads, firing for groups at ranges of fifty and one hundred yards.  The 77/44 carbine exhibited very good accuracy from the bench, despite a heavy but crisp trigger pull that measured five and three-quarters pounds. This trigger pull is fine for the woods, but from the bench, I do much better with a much lighter pull. However, putting a target grade two pound pull on a rifle meant for hunting the thick brush would not be a good idea, and the trigger pull as is would serve just fine. Groups at fifty yards measured from just over half an inch to one and one-quarter inches, depending upon the load chosen. At one hundred yards, the smallest groups measured one and one-quarter inches, with some loads opening up to just over two and one-half inches. All of the jacketed bullet loads performed very well, grouping under one and one-half inches, which is very good accuracy, and leaves the hunter no excuse if he misses his game out to at least one hundred and fifty yards."

I think the Suomi would be a contender here too.

My 9mm Beretta Storm will shoot 1inch groups all day long at 30 yds with WWB 115gr FMJ(Off the bench).

Had a Marlin Camp Carbine years ago and it never shot as well.

I had a Ruger Ghost ring PCR 40 Cal carbine back a few years ago, and that seemed very accurate. Kinda wish I still had it:(

I have a HK-94 and a HK USC 45 that are very accurate.

The HK USC has less trigger pull so IMO it is more accurate for my than the HK94.

I used to own a Beretta CX4, but like a fool I sold it when I bought a used Sub2000.  I wished I would have shoot the CX4 next to the HK94.

Of my PCCs, my best has been the H&R Handirifle in .44 Magnum.  I've not done extensive testing on all of them, but it got a 1.3 MOA group with one accurately loaded batch out of the H&R.  My next best is my Ruger PC9 which I can do just under 3 MOA with.  I'll be the first to admit it could just be me, but I've been a little disappointed with the accuracy of my PCCs, to date.  I've just learned to accept that they're not going to be as precise as rifle cartridge rifles.

Of those I have shot, I would pick the Storm.

I've got a Storm coming so I'll let ya know.  My Ruger PC4 is very accurate, good squirrel medicine.
