50' Handgun Groups

[MrMillspecer]

Ok so the other day I posted about my little p938 shooting groups almost as well as my full size. I think many of you thought I was nuts or don't shoot much. Another BSer . Well heres some 50 foot 5 shot target pics from just minutes earlier. Not from a rest either. I would like to see your 50' pics if you have any. Doesn't have to be a compact but not from a rest either. All in good fun.

Nothing special, but did hit the target. ON these attempts.
If I throw out the flyer can we call the one a 3'' group?

I was thinking, what distance are you shooting to get a group 50 feet across that you would post on. It has been a long 3 weeks for me and working 6 hours on the wagon today.

 

[Stomper]

I was thinking, "that's some BIG targets"!

 

[MrMillspecer]

I have to special order the 50' targets. But it gets me on paper at 7 yards.

You should see my life size aircraft paper targets for the 1911s.

Nah... that last one is my varmint AR with handloads at 100yds. Hey, it was in the same file!!

I've posted this before....Walther PPS-M2 at 50'

I paid $437 last fall for this 3.1" pipsqueak, single stacker because it was winning all the reviews in its class.
That was for the LE Edition with night sights and 6,7 and 8 round mags.
Now it's on rebate and you can get the standard package for $256 !
That's no night sights and 6 and 7 round mags.
Walther PPS M2 Black 9mm 3.2" 7 Rd - $356 ($256 after $100 MIR) (Free S/H on Firearms)

From a compact like that with no rest that is IMHO VERY acceptable. As I often say I have in my life known some REALLY good shots. They were always the exception. I have known a whole LOT of shooters who talked a great shot. Then first time you get to a range they can't even stay on paper at 50' with pistols. Always have all kinds of excuses when it happens. Same with the "I don't need sights" gang. Have seen some but few. Most often when I see one try they also can't hit the paper at half that distance. I always say if that happens on paper what do you think will happen if the target is firing back? It is why I often love my PCC's. Will be plinking away. Get one of them out with an optic and of course the center of the shoot'n'see is gone. Often have another walk over to see if they are in the company of an "expert" only to smile when they see why I'm so damn good. J

50' groups are fun but can you unholster and drill someone at 7 yards (or less)?
I don't know....don't want to find out, but I think I could do it.


Edit:
Target Shooting
An old trapshooter said to me once, when you miss, you miss before you even pulled the trigger.
That is true.
When I pull one, I know it.....before I see the hit.

 

[MrMillspecer]

I would think if you could draw and shoot from 50' you can draw and shoot from 21'. I always start holstered it goes with flipping the safety. Reputation. Yes I shoot in close as well. My steel torso and head target is boring after a while. But not at 15-25 yards. Hell I'm gonna try at 50 yards. My 7 yard groups look better, for sure. I do work on how fast I can get off a good first shot as well.

 

[Sgt Nambu]

Well.....we still think you're a nut and a BS'er!!!

But those are better than acceptable groups! Good job!

 

[Quartermaster]

PMR-30 at 50'. Just 10 rounds.

 

[MrMillspecer]

I measured my distance with a 100' Lufkin. If you know what that is we have something in common.
Some perspective.

 

[bbbass]

What pistol did you shoot the nice group with ? At 50' ?

Pretty close to that. It was my Ruger SR9c with 3.4" barrel.Nah, it was my AR with 10.5" barrel and cheekwelded Shockwave at 15yds.

Do ya like my re-used multi-purpose hi-diversity targets? Never say die until the tape won't stick anymore!

 

[MrMillspecer]

So how well does a 5'' 1911 shoot at 50' ? Better than I remember

Here's the Springfield Loaded Black Stainless target.


This is for the Kimber haters, um orygun, and why she's a keeper. After 10 years the trigger will still surprise me on the break. 5 shot groups.



Here's 10 shots


I'm still not a fan of Winchester White box, but it was good to me today.

 

[DirectDrive]

I like those Champion targets.
Looks like you can put a lot of holes in them and they're still good.

 

[bbbass]

Of the two 1911s pictured, I like the one at the top. The contrast of light and dark just does something to me.

 

[Sgt Nambu]

Nice pistol and very nice groups! Good shooting!
