The most accurate FIXED SIGHT semi-autos I have fired in the last 50 years have been a Hungarian version (FEG) of the BHP, and the Philippine made Rock Island 1911.
These two are the only ones that hit just above or on the point of aim at 15-20 yards.
Other fixed sight handguns I’ve shot, from a rest, always were usually low. That includes Colt, Browning Hi-Power, SAR B6P (Way low!) At average handgun range they will do in a pinch, but not for precision shooting, unless you know how high to aim with each one.
You can always file or change sights...
I was practicing at a friends private range not long ago with my 4 Kimber 1911. I dragged an old cast iron grilling plate (roughly 6 x 18 or so) out to the 100 yard mark. Wed been using it as a rifle target.
I decided what the Hell and gave it a go with the Kimber. After 3 or so shots to get the drop figured I was hitting it almost every time. The rest of the guys, and my wife, all started doing it. Most of them had some 9mm platform and Mrs L had her full size Kimber.
After a few rounds everyone was hitting it. I was probably holding 2 feet high or so.. LOL.
My point is that we were all surprised at just how far away it was possible to score hits with a handgun.
