There was a member here who I believe was routinely hitting 50 gallon oil drums at 500 yards with his 1911.
Texasrifleman maybe. |

I could give it a try, but with the weak pistol bullet having so little momentum downrange, it's going to be hard to hear. Even at 115 it made a sissy ding.
Hey, I know ... 10mm! |

Old video I made with a piss poor camera, but that's me sending rounds through a 3/4 inch piece of plywood and the AT tire holding the plywood up at just over 400 yards (measured by Google Earth).

So at long ranges with a handgun whats more important? Trigger control, sight picture or everything? My wife can consistently hit the gong at 100 while I miss, but she has no clue to what she is doing right and neither do I. Quote HistoryQuoted:

My cousin and I routinely shoot a 12 in square plate at 75 yards 9 out of ten times. Mine is a Colt Target Master in 22lr and his is a S&W 22lr with a red dot. Never get 10 for 10. Also hit a 100 yard gong with Glock 23 about 1/2 time. Pissed my buddy off because he could not hit it with scoped rifle off hand.

I firmly believe a pistol in the correct hands is a 100 yard and in weapon.
Honestly hitting ipsc steel at 100 with a pistol is not a hard thing to do as long as you have the fundamentals down pat, know your drop, and can play the wind. If I can do it, anyone should be able to. |

Have taught many new shooters to shoot at 80 - 100 yds with hand gun. the interesting thing is with a new shooter give them the handgun and tell them to shoot the berm at the clay birds or a gallon jug and they do it no questions asked. Ask an experienced shooter to do it and they say no way. |

Long range handgunning is something that I do often enough. Most uninformed people would not believe the distances we shoot at, when discussing shooting big bore revolvers.
Vanilla Gorilla knows I believe, as I think he made comments in the last long range handgunning thread. I'm typing on my kindle tonight so I have no idea how to share pics from a long range excursion a couple months back. We shot our N Frames out to around 500 yards. Good times. Fun skill and it amazes people when you tell them to carry a bucket or paint can out to the 300 yard mark and you will shoot it for them. Makes 25 yards look like point blank range.... :) |

Front sight for a custom 5" Model 29 that I made. Version 1 at least....
Shooting the 5" 29 off the porch of my cabin at a steel plate set up just beyond my 100 yard sight in target. You can see the plate. Its in the center, grey colored.

Beauty shot!
Shooting out to 500 yards or so on a dry lake bed. 
My friend and I had found a nice shady spot and had ammo cans and a folgers can full of ammo. You can fit 550 rounds into a standard folgers can BTW..

Shooting at 100 yards with a S&W 686-4 with hands down the best trigger I've ever touched almost seemed like cheating, and definitely seemed like a hell of a lot of fun.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I think I've found my winter shooting/reloading project. If you shoot .44 Magnums, a ~250 grain lead bullet at 1350 fps is excellent for long range. My own load is a 265 LSWC at that velocity and it performs admirably.

100yds with a .357 is pretty easy too; I've shot it at the 200yd range also. I routinely shoot 75yds with my Glock 30 (with 10mm barrel) and my best friend and my brother both easily put arrows in the kill zone from that distance using recurve bows. It just requires practice.
A lot of the old time shooters like Ed McGivern and Elmer Keith used to shoot hundreds of yards very accurately. |

185 yards with a Glock 19 every day carry gun (front night sight, stock trigger) today. It took 10 rounds. It took me a few rounds to see the 121 gr bullets were impacting far right then hold left They didn't require much elevation compensation at all.

My current challenge is 200y with my Glock 19 (standing, 2 hands). I only hit maybe 3/10. 100 got so easy I started doing it support hand only. Target is a steel torso silhouette though so there's room for error. At 100 I hold on the shoulders and at 200 on the head.
Load is 147gr, and this should be obvious but stick with one load when trying to figure out holds. Nothing worse than shooting mixed 115 and 147 and not knowing if the problem is the hold, the ammo, the sights... I am interested in trying a KKM barrel to see if the mechanical accuracy is playing a part in my misses or if it's still me. I am cheating a bit using a RMR. I find at the long distances that vision, specifically sight target contrast is a big factor. A friend and I got told off by some old timers who were thoroughly convinced that we would be sending rounds over the berm if we were trying to hit anything beyond 25 yards, certainly it's just reckless to try at 100. You cant really fix the effect of many cumulative years of misinformation easily, because their hearing is also gone and they can't hear the dings of the bullet on steel. |

165 yards, Glock 19, tritium front sight, stock rear sight reversed, all else stock, every day carry gun
I had shot this at 200 with the same ammo last week and it dropped a couple feet and was far right. Turns out it didn't need much elevation at 165 with flat-shooting 121 gr. |
