I have seen lots of videos where people are shooting at extreme ranges (basically 100 meters) using various handguns and also snubnoses and sub compact semiautos. In general, according to what I have seen it apperas that snubnoses in general have much more accuracy potential than for example s-s semiautos.
I also have seen what Bob Munden does with his snubnose Smith&Wesson (shooting balloons at 200 yards). I don’t know what people think about him, but as far as I have seen, he obviously got extraordinary skills.
So why it is so? Why a short barrel revolver might have more accuracy potential on long ranges than semi autos? Is that a fixed barrel? (I don’t believe that fixed barrel offers practical advantages in accuracy over designs with moving barrels when we talk about realistic distances). Or specific combination of design and caliber works better. Or short and moving barrel dramatically affects accuracy at extreme ranges?
I personally had tried to shoot my .22 buck mark bullseye target semi auto at 100 meters and had no big problems hitting silhouettes either from rest or weaver stance (of course after adjusting sights and the weather was good without any cross wind).
