Good thing he has the increased sight radius

This guy means business. He probably shot pistols and guns in general all his life.
Most people underestimate the accuracy of a handgun at longer ranges, from a subcompact handgun we can clearly see we can get very good accuracy out to 80 yards. A full-sized handgun such as a Sig P226, Beretta 92, Glock G17 and so on can obviously achieve good accuracy after 100yds, I have heard some people shoot gongs with their 1911 at 100 and 150 yards.
 
Sub compact, factory crap sights and making hits at 80 yards. It must be the sight radius. We all know it has little to do with the shooter.:rolleyes:
What the hell is that suppose to mean????
Can you do that

AS noted, it was sarcasm. So many get wrapped around the axle regarding sight radius, sights, trigger jobs, comps and pet loads. I'm not disputing that some if not most of the above can aid in achieving amazing results with boring repetition. What I'm disputing is that some of the above factors are required to make such hits. Clearly that isn't the case. And yes, I can make hits at 80 yards with my pistols, Glock 26 included. The 230 yard shot, not so good. I could comfortably put rounds on your car at 200 yards but not the door. Then again, I don't make a habit of shooting at crazy ranges with handguns.;)

That is some pretty crazy pistol shooting, unbelievable almost

What is the trajectory of a pistol bullet fired at that range anyways?
 
I'd have to agree this guy makes anything seem possible despite the sights and trigger, etc. Amazing shooting.

And on a side note: "I'm totally sold. I'll take one. Where do I pick it up?"

Levi if you are suggesting that a pistol shooter wil not do better with a pistol with a decent trigger vs a crappy trigger then you know nothing about the art of the pistol. So to accuracy as it relates to load development unless of course you consider an accuracy test to be that of hitting a barn door a 25 yards. Certainly there are exceptions as demonstrated by the video. I suspect the individual has excellent eye sight and above average eye hand coordination. For those not so blessed or with a different need then load development, sight radius, trigger jobs and decent sights for the application at hand mean a heck of a lot of difference.

I know from your past posts that you only have your handguns to shoot people but for the rest of us who use our guns for other purposes than yours accuracy is important and somewhat more defined than you suggest.

I have hit clay pidgeons regularly from the pistol bays at Abbotsford to the back of the pit with my K 38 but doing it 3 out of six times from a rest does me no good in Action Shooting where targets are set from 3 - 35 yards, the timer is running and misses hurt.

For the newer members TDC is Mr. Tacticool. Reads a lot...shoots less. Have you spoken to JR at The Shooting Edge lately Levi.

Take Care
