What Black Powder Pistol Has The Greatest Accuaracy?

One of the most popular target guns of the North/south skirmish association is the 1858 Remington (for purists: 1863 New Model Army) that has been worked over by custom gunsmiths like the late Tom Ball.
 
For the best accuracy with a revolver you need the right size match between chambers and barrel. A high quality barrel with the right twist rate. Tight barrel to cylinder gap, smooth trigger break, it has to fit your hand well.

I would say my two Pietta "shooters" models are the most accurate followed by my ROA's. I have a Uberti revolving carbine and Pietta revolving carbine that are tack drivers. The longer sight radius is a big plus with these.
 
FWIW, I've found that a single barrel, single-shot pistol is generally more accurate (given equal sights, loads and shooter) than a revolver, simply because the more complicated revolver mechanism has to perrfectly align different chambers each & every time/shot - and the chamber/barrel commection is nowhere near as stable as with a pistol that has an chamber area integral with the barrel.
