Accuracy?

[Guest Red5]

I'm relatively new to this forum (and handguns in general) so I'm wondering, when posting about a particular handgun, people often state how accurate it is.

Is this based on tests with a Ransom Rest or something similar or is it more a statement of how accurate you were with said handgun? It seems that unless your talking some sort of match grade gun, the difference between one well made pistol and the next would be negligible, no?

Ransom rest would be one of the best measures and I bet you are right that most would have negligible differences. But not many folks own a Ransom rest so I'm guessing most are posting how accurate they are with said handgun. And of course there are tons of variables there like fit, technique, familiarity with a particular model, ammo choice, rate of fire, weather, mood, health, phase of the moon, etc.
