Stuck up here (rural Missouri) and got Dixie on my
I was talking to local LEO today who suggested that he could routinely hit four inch groups at 100 yds. with his Glock 19 w/ compensted barrel. That sounds like reall good shooting to me, as I am lucky to hit five (Okay, make that eight.) inch groups at 25 yards (Yeah, I know, I need more practice.). Does anyone else experience that kind of accuracy with their Glocks?
 
That sounds like chest thumbing to me. :scrutiny: Take him to the range, buy the ammo and witness his 4" groups @ 100yrds. :cool:
 
"Take him to the range, buy the ammo and witness his 4" groups @ 100yrds."... I've been shooting with plenty of people who could do amazing feats with firearms but had a bad day when I was there.;)

Oh yeah 5" and even 8" groups offhand at 25 yards is nothing to poo-poo. 5" is pretty good if you ask me.
 
First have him shoot 4inch groups at 25 yards routinely far you with a short barreled 19 . Then start beleiveing anything else he says. By the way i can shoot 4 inch groups routinely at 25 yards with my 19 and shooting 4 inch groups at 100 yards routinely with a stock 19 and standard ammo would be next to impossible . And if he can he truly is the master.
 
I'm happy if I'm hitting 4" groups with a Beretta Storm CARBINE with iron sights at 100 yards. Hitting the target at 100 yards with a 9mm pistol is possible but that far out it is not going to be tight, unless he has a super custom glock. :neener:
 
:rolleyes: 4" group at 100 yards? I would take that bet ;) Not that I could do anything close to that...just tough to believe.
 
A guy I know was talking about hitting pop cans "all day" at 100 yards with a .45 auto. Short answer was that after shooting at a pop can "all day" with a number of very accurate .45s he wasn't hitting pop cans at all.

My goal is to consistently shoot all my rounds into a 8" circle off hand rapid fire at 25 yds. On a good day a lot of them are inside 4". On a bad day 1/8 of them are not on the paper.

Is your friend using a scope on the Glock?
 
I'll give him $5 every time he hits inside 4 inches if he will give me a dollar every time he hits outside 4 inches.:)

Repeatedly hitting something of reasonable size at 100 yards isn't difficult but shooting small groups with a pistol at 100 yards takes an exceptional shot.

Last week at 100 yards with my S&W Model 60.
Didn't miss, but far from a 4 inch group.:D

(Most of the pasters are from a Bretta Minx 22 short shot earlier. Missed 3 times out of 14 shots.:eek: )

But there is NO FRIGGIN WAY that anyone can get 4" groups at 100M from any handgun, offhand or rested.

Well that's not entirely true if the handgun is this one.:D

The best I've been able to get out of any of mine (a G22) was a 6-shot group at 30 yards that I could cover with the palm of my hand; this was during an IPSC match that required a prone firing position.

M2 CARBINE, THATS GOOD SHOOTING AT 100 YARDS WITH THAT PISTOL.

Thanks but it's not difficult (try it).
It just takes me a while before I get the bullet drop figured out with those short barrel pistols. You can see a lot of low holes.

There were doubters on a Glock Talk thread when a poster said he was getting close to a bowling pin at 100 yards with his Beretta Jetfire 25cal. I thought I'd see how my Beretta Minx 22 short would do (sitting).
My Minx shoots low and left so I put a bullseye high and right for an aiming point. Shot 14 rounds but can't account for 3. The pasters are under the bullet holes, including two in the bullseye target.
The Minx did better than I thought it would.:)

4" at 100 yards is almost an impossibility. It's safe to say he's pulling your leg. Maybe he's a little confused about feet vs. yards...
 
I like distance shooting and some guns will do surprisingly well.

This was my first Polish P-64 9x18.
50 yards, standing, two hands.
The gun shoots to the right a little.

american shooter- it can be done...

I saw the guy on american shooter shoot a balloon @ 100yds with a s&w snub nose 38. NO BS!

Great episode! he actually was pointing the pistol at about a 30 degree angle to compensate for bullet drop. An amazing amazing shot.

same guy could shoot dimes out of the air with his six gun. mental block on the name though.

he was out shot by Byron
Ferguson who used a bow to shoot asprins out of the air. This is not a joke. As far as I can tell it really happened.

Man that was a GREAT tv program. I miss it.

so tough shots can be made buy the right guy.

edited to change 400 yds to 100 yds.

I'd put that one in the same category as guys saying that are shooting .3 inch groups at 50 yards with a .22. A lot of people say they do it but I haven't seen many do it in front of me. BTW my best 1 shot group with my TC is .22.:p
 
Most of my Glocks will shoot inside of 12" at 100 yards. My 34 and my 20 will do slightly better. They will all shoot less than 3" at 25 and a couple of them will shoot less than 2" at 25. At 7 yards, my 17 will place 5 shots inside of a dime.

I wouldn't bet a whole hell of a lot of money on that. I would have to assume that you mean a service pistol. I've had several scoped handguns that would shoot in the 4-6" range and a couple Contenders that would under and inch.

You are correct, SOME handguns can be very accurately shot at 100M. What I should have said was "Pistol caliber" handguns, factory configuration, etc.
But very nice shooting. Been thinking about picking up one o them Kel Tec's with the nice handguards, etc. Looks like fun and possibly more balanced than my AR pistol.
nice lookin gun, BTW.

Yes, I was just being a wise guy.:D

The Kel Tec PLR is very accurate for the type gun it is. I expect very small 100 yard groups from my TC .223 but the KT PLR has been a surprise.

I have to see what my Bushmaster .223 pistol will do. For some reason I haven't shot it at 100 yards yet.
