I guess I should pony up for the Colt brand instead of the others, haha!Colt Frontier pistols have adjustable rear sights.

I barely qualify as a plinker!IMHO Bullseye shooters tend to like Ransom rests.
Plinkers........not so much.
But it would tell you which one you own, that you need to spend more time behind.That is adding more variables. For the top .001 percent of shooters in top level competitions there can be arguments over mechanical accuracy. For the rest of the casual shooters it is negligible. The ransom rest is not real life scenario. If I put all my pistols
In one I would guarantee what is the most accurate there is not the one i shoot the most accurate.
Well you pony'ed up twice for a S&W 41?I guess I should pony up for the Colt brand instead of the others, haha!
In theory that would work but it’s not real life. I have or have had quite a few high end cz target / competition pistols. A few i have put a decent amount of time behind them. I don’t shoot them better than my standard 75. I know they are nicer and in a random rest would group better but that means nothing while plinking free hand. If I was a bench or rest shooter there would be more advantage, but shooting free hand the gun that matches how I shoot (ie weight, ergos, trigger manipulation, etc) definitely outweighs potential mechanical accuracy based off ransom rest.But it would tell you which one you own, that you need to spend more time behind.
So you've never picked up a high end target pistol and its ergonomics and superb trigger didn't allow you to shoot better scores than with a stock Ruger MK2?
I get it, you do what works for you.In theory that would work but it’s not real life. I have or have had quite a few high end cz target / competition pistols.

Maybe I’m doing it wrong since I’m not a competitive shooter but I will always pick the gun I shoot the best over something that has better ransom test accuracy. Real life accuracy outweighs laboratory accuracy for me every time for me in the hobby of punching holes in paper
Wonderful pistols, money well spent sir.
$545
A Colt, versus a Ruger?!Well you pony'ed up twice for a S&W 41?
Would a better shooter and investment be a vintage NIB Colt 22 or a Ruger New Frontier?
Me I'd rather have the old Colt. But thats me.
I have had some really neat "bucket list" guns & some not even on my bucket list show up on my radar this summer and I took the plunge.It was bought in the early 2000's I think at a gun shop on the square in Crown Point, IN. I wasn't looking for one but
couldn't pass it up even then. It has the original box, cleaning kit and 3 mags in the box.
Many of my guns have been bought how I call "targets of opportunity". They may be something I have thought about
but never went looking for. I would see one in a shop at a very good price and saidit was coming home with me.
Many bought that way.
I bought mine when I was in HS, so 75 or 76 I bought my 5 1/2" 41.It was bought in the early 2000's I think at a gun shop on the square in Crown Point, IN. I wasn't looking for one but
