In fact, this myth does have a kernel of truth to it back in the days before CNC machining, it was quite likely that if you took a brand new production revolver off the line and put it up against a brand new semi-auto pistol, the revolver would shoot more accurately. The barrels on recoil operated semi-automatic pistols do move when the gun is fired, so a casual observer might be tempted to think that a semi-auto pistol would be less inherently accurate than a revolver. The myth goes like this: “Revolvers are more accurate than semi-automatic pistols because a revolver barrel doesn’t move.” When you examine it on the surface, it actually kind of makes sense. We are fond of phrases like “accuracy is final” and “six for sure”, and of course to continue to rip off Star Wars by referring to our wheelguns as “more elegant weapons for a more civilized age.” However, there is one revolver myth that gets repeated almost as often, and today we’ll explain why it isn’t true. Revolver aficionados tend to fancy themselves the wise Jedi Knights of defensive shooting, keepers of secret knowledge.
