Nearly as good as a rifle barrel. I get under 3/4 inch groups with mine shot from a rest (tripod, sandbags for the grip, wind flags etc) with the 17 grain bullets. With the carbine barrel I can cut that in half. I think with a better shooter the pistol groups could shrink as well.

Mine shoots as good as my carbine barrel. Under 1/2 inch. It likes federal 17 gr. V-Max.

It's my 13 yr old daughters favorite prairie dog gun. The only time I really took it out shooting for groups at the local 100 meter range it was outstanding. 10 5-shot groups were all under 3/4" with the best two groups coming in at 1/4". I also have a carbine barrel thats almost as good. It will keep every thing under 3/4" KN
