When I bought my S&W 4013 a few months back, I was expecting less
accuracy than my Taurus 9mm. After all, the 9 had a 5 in. barrel
and the .40 had a 31/2 in barrel and carried a bigger load, and the 9mm
had adjustable sights (which I had taken great care to adjust as
accurately as possible)...

...and the 40. beat it hands down. I was scoring bullseyes practically 
without even trying.

Don't get me wrong, I love my Taurus. I was just very surprized by
