I too have a Wilson 1996A-2 that has always been super reliable. It runs and runs with good ammo and I have no complaints with it going bang.
I still am somewhat underwhelmed with the accuracy I can get with it.
I'm not good enough to shoot 1 inch groups with iron sights with a pistol at 25 yards everytime, but with a ruger mkII with a 5.5 inch barrel I can consistantly shoot bench rested 5 shot groups less than 2 inches sometimes I can shoot some as small as 1.25 inches. This is with the factory iron sights.
With my Wilson pistol I have not been able to approach this level of accuracy. Around 3.5 to 4.5 inches for 5 shots is what I see and I'm not real happy with this.
The bushing in my Wilson is loose enough I can turn it easily with my fingers,I allways thought decent accuracy required a snugger fit than this.
My question is how important is bushing fit to accuracy?
Do any of you have 1911's with finger loose bushings that will hold groups less than 2 inches at 25 yards?
I need to shoot some factory ammo to determine a level of accuracy to shoot for with handloads,as allmost all of my shooting to date has been with handloads.But I have allways been able to get as good of accuracy as I wanted with handloads in other pistols so I just don't know. Thank you for your help. JS
