[QUOTE="James41, post: 2950611, member: 2560"] I'm no great marksman so i can't really tell you that, but i can say that i think it shoots quite well. I normally practice from 5 yards to 12 yards when i go out and at those distances i would say that it does quite well. I have used a 5" kimber 1911, a couple of XD's and a Glock30 and a Ruger SR1911 in 45acp and i would say that the Ruger American 45 compares well with those. I would say the Kimber and the Ruger 1911 would probably out perform the RAP on distance shooting, but i hardly do any of that anymore as at 79 my eye sight just isn't much good for that. For concealed carry, which is what i use it for, it carries well and at the 5 to 12 yard man sized targets i am quite happy with its performance. I have never, even when younger, been a 1 hole shooter, but when i can draw and shoot and empty a mag and have all shots hit pretty much center mass i am more than happy, and the RAP delivers those results for me. Certainly more accurate than i personally am. I am planning on going to the range this week end, it will be the first time i have been out in a while, maybe i can give you a better report on its performance then once it has had more than just a couple of mags run through it.
