Accuracy Beretta/Luger

[Jim Mickelson]

Several days ago there was a post regarding a Beretta shooting like a rifle and a Luger being somewhat less. Since I have a M9 Beretta and a 1918 DWM Luger that has been rebuilt after a fire I decided to see which was more accurate. Putting a Scope on the Beretta was easy. Two days in the machine shop resulted in a workable mount for the Luger. Testing at 100 yards, remember the Beretta shoots like a rifle so the test was done at rifle range. Using the same ammo in each gun, Winchester factory, I got the following results: Beretta 5 five shot groups average spread 2.38 inches. Luger 5 five shot groups average spread 2.09 inches. Yes the Beretta is a better combat gun. but one should never denegrate the accuracy of the Luger it too shoots like a Rifle if a Beretta is the rifle standard.
