Quote HistoryQuoted: 50 yards for Slow Fire, 25 yards for Timed and Rapid About the only thing a 1911 is still good for. No other centerfire semiauto can touch it for accuracy. I really don't know now if that picture I posted of the President's is 25 timed or 50 slow. Do you load your own and are they wadcutters? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I really don't know now if that picture I posted of the President's is 25 timed or 50 slow. Do you load your own and are they wadcutters? That target was a shortline target, so 25 yards, since only the 9-ring is black. The 50 yard target has the same size rings, but the 8-ring is black. The Distinguished Badge and two eagle badges you get on the way to 30 leg points are also depicted, along with an old President’s Hundred brassard. I think they stopped giving those out in the 1990s? These days it’s a white medal. You have to buy your own tab if you want one, which is always a surprise to first timers. ETA—Yeah, handloaded semiwadcutters, which aren’t legal for CMP Service Pistol. My picture was of a Bullseye target. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Some guns make it easier than others. These are 10yd groups. Far from bullseye shooting but enough to not look like an idiot among people that know what they are doing. I have been trying to slow down lately and focus on fundamentals again it's actually made me a bit quicker when I do run drills. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/77352/B806B8DB-3A06-48EC-BAE1-AE38DD5ACBA5-2113354.jpg https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/77352/06E6D129-78B3-4964-BE85-B5C9E704A7D0-2125805.jpg I have a threshold I want to get to. I want to be able to shoot the dot torture challenge clean at 5yds. I think that is a good measure of competence with a handgun for slow fire. I have never shot one clean in quite a few attempts. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/77352/2BFD14F9-1449-4453-BC77-C5E4CCDBE1A6-2541885.jpg -Mike |

It used to be 230GR ball, but now it’s any jacketed. That was a big change because 230GR has to be going pretty fast to be accurate, and even then it can only do about 3” at 50 yards out of a machine rest. It sounds silly, but a lot of guys chasing a Distinguished Badge messed up their elbows shooting that stuff. 185GR hollowpoints out of the same pistol would probably do 1.5”. An accurized 1911 in 9mm will do 1” at 50 yards with 115GR. Those are also legal now. |

In a self defense scenario, I’m confident I could get some good hits at self defense range.
General marksmanship, I’m probably average and wouldn’t waste my time trying to prove it lol. But I do have some badass handguns so at least I look cool shooting averagely. |

Hadn’t shot handguns in at least 2 months so I took 3 to the range on Friday.
Guns on hand were an HK SFP9L-OR PB with a TrijiconType 2 RMR, 1977 Colt Python and an 80’s Dan Wesson 44 Magnum 744HV. This was the target with the Colt Python shooting 158gr 357 Magnum. The others were equally good. The Dan Wesson also had 3 touching but I left that target up and let a few people at the range try it out.

Just put ~240 rounds on paper this afternoon with my Glock 21. Didn’t take pics, but I was able to consistently hit the torso (chest to navel) at around 10-15 yards. Good enough for me.
I’m not trying to be a sniper with a pistol, so I don’t ever shoot a pistol past 25 yards. |

Interesting responses
They reflect the generational shift from just shooting targets for sport and accuracy, and "why would anyone shoot for any reason other than tactical/self defense". It's not an either/or deal, friends and neighbors. One of my former students called just today and wants a refresher class. First time to shoot a 642PC worked out well for her
