That is a rhetorical question, and the answer: surprisingly (at least to me). Out of curiosity, I recently bought a PSA pistol upper and lower (10.5" barrel, SBA3 brace & polished trigger). I had an Aimpoint PRO that I mounted on the rail. The second time at the range, I was quite surprised to manage a 1" 3-shot group at 50 yds from a rest. The following week I decided to take it to the 200 yd range where there are steel plates (not expecting much success). Off a rest, it took me 3 misses to get zeroed, but then managed to "ring" the plate with the next 5-8 shots. When I bought the gun I figured I might be lucky to get 2-3" groups at 25 yds, and never expected to do much better considering the short barrel and that the pistol was a rather inexpensive PSA product. To top it off, it really is a fun little gun to shoot making it easy to burn through a lot of ammo.
I suspect this may not be news for those who've shot AR pistols for awhile, but it was an eye opener for me.
