Looking forward to the post.
How tight are your groups?

(1) Rimfire...5 shots, max 2 minutes
(2) Rapid fire 5 shots, max 10 seconds(I use a rimfire for this)
(3) Centre Fire 5 shots, max 2 minutes
Number (I) and number (3) are the same, just different pistols.

if i hit the target at 10 metre i am happy . lol. depends on the gun with my ruger mII i generally don any under 7 at 25 yards most 8 or 9. with centrefire revolver i do pretty much similar but with 9 mm or over it get a little worst many around the black circle
Proficiency at all traditional handgun distances (0-25 yards) should be practiced and ideally mastered. Don't sweat the 25 yards stuff. Start in close and work your way back. Most action shooting leagues don't focus on 25 yard shots.

with my model 29's(I have an 8 incher and a 6) I usually shoot an inch or under at around 25 feet, both have been tweaked.

With my 1991 45acp the groups are a little less consistent and are usually around an inch to 2 inches, I can get them down a bit if I get sleep, dont drink coffee for a month and give up ### for a few mins.
My SIG, is ok but I cant get better than about 2 or 3 inches, not a big fan of the feel of it in my hands, cant get used to it.
My friend has a Springfield loaded match and I can clover leaf it all day long with the right ammo.
I find if I relax my arms, focus on the front sight, let the rear target blur a bit and slowly pull the trigger to the point it hurts the groupings are good etc etc

Haha the best part is that I'm not. This is just with my Steyr, though. I shoot normal bad shooter groups (like a couple inches at 7m) with guns like the P226 and so forth. As far as the Steyr, I just need to figure out the sights and improve my grip technique/breathing. I am determined to (eventually) become good, or at least proficient, with it.
Here's a couple targets I shot before I left the range the other day. Ammo used was a mix of BDX/combat masters, American Eagle, and some reloads from my buddy.
Glock 26, 7 yards 10 shot groups.
Glock 17, 7 yards 10 shot groups.
The two rounds on both targets in the top left corner are from me drawing and engaging the target with speed. The goal was to hit the black.
Best group with Glock 26.
Best group with Glock 17.
Some groups at 12 or 15 yards, I can't remember. I think it was 12 yards.
Glock 26 at 12 yards.
Glock 17 at 12 yards
The large black bull(9 inches in diameter if the paper was larger) was a bugger to shoot. With almost zero reference point for your sight picture, the variance between shots was large. The smaller targets(red dot is 3 inches diameter) allowed less margin of error with your sight picture. I'm not sure what time frame these were shot in. I do know all groups were fired in less than a minute. The 7 yards stuff was bordering on rapid fire. I'm impatient.

50 rounds in 2 in. at 25 yards with my M&P9. Is that good?

With all the summer company, I am out of practice.
Used to be two inch groups at 20 yards with the Colt 357, and 38 spec ammo.
Last recent visit, I am currently shooting about 4-5 inch groups at the same distance with 44 spec ammo, in both of my 44 magnums.
'Got to get into, the twice a week range practice again!

If that is a stock pistol, shot free hand, I'd have to say too good to be true.
I would have trouble believing 10 rounds, but all 50 I think is B/S. No offence, but I'd have to witness or have witnesses come forward to believe it.

I guess that's about average.
(for internet shooting) In the spring, there were three of us at range one evening and were trying out each others guns. We are what you would call average shooters. Most 5 to 10 shot groups were around 3 to 4" or so at around 13m, with a variety of guns.
Then I tried some newer reloads with my 40 S&W and it was amazing that all 3 of us shot 10 rounds each and about 28 of them were easily within 2". We were all surprised how much of a difference that gun made to our shooting.

Has anyone here ever tried or seen the SIG 220 Match in action? I will be shooting bulls eye and PPC and was wondering how tight the groupings can get.
The sig website says the gun can shoot a 0.64" 8 shot group at 20 yards, I think it's kinda hard to belive. That probably with the gun perfectly braced, barrel given time to cool and everything. I just want to know what it'll be like in real world shooting.
