The only centerfire pistols that will keep up with .22RF are open guns with brakes to reduce the recoil and the slide impulse.I've wondered about this. It would seem, with enough practice, that a center fire pistol could be shot just as accurately as a rimfire pistol. For most of us mere mortals, that much practice is hard to achieve. In rifles, I have sold most of my center fire rifles since my .22s shoot rings around the CF's I had.
Getting back on target after recoil, or staying on target during the shot, resulting in a faster follow up shot is what those that shoot speed shooting try to achieve.
I have a volquartsen brake on my Ruger Mark III Hunter. It basically is there to add weight to the muzzle, and counteract the slide impulse that caused barrel rise between shots. Looking through the red dot, I never get off the bull when pulling the trigger as fast as I can.
Brakes on AR's accomplish the same thing. They can be made to shoot just as fast as a .22 rifle, keeping the gun on target between trigger pulls.
