Default What is the longest distance you shoot your carry gun

Reflecting on last weeks tragic events, I felt I needed to shoot my carry gun - officer's ACP - further than close combat distance.

I set up a torso sized target and shot at 25', 50' and 75'. I put all but one round in the torso and one bulls eye from 25' and another from 75'. It really does a lot of good to know you can hit your target at greater than arms length.

What is the longest distance at which you regularly shoot a carry gun?

We recall the case of the Shoshone war band which showed up complete with one 30-30 rifle per man the week after Pearl Harbor, and simply wanted to have the enemy pointed out to them. "We hear there's a war going on and we want to go fight it." Jeff Cooper
