Used to shoot fairly regularly at 100 m with a .357. The butts were sand, so you could see where your shot went. With that, by and large, I could get most shots on a Fig 11. What was fun was trying it wih .38 Spl HB wadcutters. You had time for a smoke, a scratch and foot rub before the bullet hit
What your furthest pistol shot?

330 yards with a .44mag. Long barrelled 8 3/8" smith. Took me about 25 shots to figure out the "kentucky windage" before I could consistently hit the 18" x 18" gong. The front sight covered up at least 30' on each side of the gong giving me a virtual zero sight picture
When I shot pistol Silhouette (before CFO's got all stupid about metal targets) 200 meters for the Ram's was no problem. This was with my Dan Wesson, .44 Mag with a 10" barrel (still have it). Certainly opened the eyes of many rifle shooters who believed hand guns were useless past 25 yards.

50m, IPSC popper during course of fire, one shot and it drops.
Took the shot, heard the hit and saw the popper drop, thought "yeah" then "dammit.....MOVE!!!"

200m, Ruger SR9, 115grn. Man size paper target. a few hits out of each mag. Standing freehand.
how big was that gong on Silverdale's 2014 200yd rifle?
my son shot my 44mag - 4x Leopold, off the bench, 10 shots - 44mag - (Dan Wesson - 8" hand loads)
miss, hit, miss, 7 hits
Shoots .75" groups - 25yd benched, full loads 240gr, doing my best
No wonder it dominated IHMSA in the 80's.

Figure 11 from 100m with my .45 got 4 out of 8 on paper
INTO SPACE!!!
you are Lucky, my .25acp didn't make it quite that far, it reached lower orbit and fell back to earth. Doctors and investigator didn't believe I had shot myself in the arse, cuz there wern't no powder burns. They prohibited .25acp pistols shortly after, thinking some hoodlum shot me during a mugging.

I've hit my 8" steel gong at 80yrd routinely with my m&p9, the first time I hit the 80yrd gong I shot through the 15yrd target I had set up and we heard the ping from the gong. My wife and friend I was there with just laughed, then I managed to hit it 2-3 more times intentionally.
