10mtr Rapid Fire VS !0mtr Single Shot Accuracy

[MAD DAWG]

Has anyone here investigated the difference (if any) in the accuracy potential of the high end Single-shot vs the high end 5shot Rapid Fire air pistols?

Can someone direct me to a resource for this information?

Surely this has been addressed on this forum before. My search efforts have been unrewarding. I know, "if you are not getting the right answers then you are asking the wrong questions".

Nevertheless, any information or referral to a source of information regarding this question will be greatly appreciated.

I'm going to purchase a new 10mtr pistol. The 5shot Rapid Fire air pistols are certainly intriguing. Is their machine-rest accuracy comparable to the single shots? If not, is the difference significant?

TIA and
Best...............!

Not an issue. My LP5 will put in the same groups as the LP10.

As I recall from previous threads, the issue is not accuracy, but rather trigger feel. The concensus seemed to be that the single shot pistol had a superior trigger to that of the 5-shot pistol (of the same manufacturer).

Yep. I'm still trying to get a consortium together, to engage a designer to put a Morini trigger into a LP5 :-)

Theoretically, the accuracy difference between the 5 shot and the 1 shot AP is similar to the accuracy difference between a revolver and a pistol i.e. potential misalignment between the cylinder/bar holding the ammo/pellet and the barrel. Of course this is not an issue with a pistol which has the chamber integral with the barrel. As Tycho points out, this is not an issue in practice.
