Default Re: What is the longest distance you shoot your carry gun

I shoot out to 75-100m most shooting sessions... as for hitting.... well, that's not always the case, hahaha. I always pick out torso sized rocks or post a cardboard popsicle stick and tap away at it. My little SP101 in .357 will easily hit human sized objects out to 100m (no stress, 5 tries), for a 3 1/8" barrel, I'm super impressed with it.

Many of my handguns will get rounds on target at some pretty amazing distances provided you have a full cylinder or magazine. The problem is doing it under stress and in less than ideal conditions. People miss at point blank range even. Stress shoots at even 25 yards are extremely difficult for even good shooters. Most of my practice is around 0-25 feet unless I'm plinking steel, then I back off to about 20yds.

practice, practice, practice...

gas mask would for certain limit his vision making him an easier target. Not sure if I would have survived depending on position but if I had a chance to get a 17rd mag of .40 off at him, I'm sure he wouldn't go unscathed.
