Ransom Master Series Pistol Rest | Setup and Accuracy Testing

I spent the day with Ransom International at Gunsite Academy to check out their Master Series Pistol Rest! We reviewed how to set it up and compared ammunition and barrels using my Smith and Wesson M&P9 5".
Ransom International is an awesome Arizona local company and home of the original rest. The master series rest is the international standard for accuracy testing and is used by manufacturers worldwide.
We used it to test a variety of 115gr, 124gr and 147gr ammunition as well as compared the stock M&P barrel with the Apex Tactical semi drop in barrel, the results didn't disappoint!

Wow! Very Impressive! I like the human variable taken out of the accuracy equation. The barrel change made a big improvement. I put a match barrel in one of my pistols and it made a world of difference.
There ARE still a few very minor variables that make it hard to cloverleaf; things that cannot be controlled. Differences in tolerances from one manufacturer to another and WIND of course come to mind. An ever so slight variance in powder, bullet, and primer will stop the cloverleaf too.
All in all: an excellent product and presentation! Thanks for posting here on the net.

Thank you! It was such a cool learning experience. You’re right, unfortunately we can’t control every variable, but I’d say this is the closest we can get! I’m glad you enjoyed the video 😊
