I confess, I am primarily a rifle shooter. I shoot rifles for fun, self defense, and hunting.
I have not gotten nearly as much trigger time with pistols as I have had with rifles. I have taken a basic ccw course, and shot pistols occasionally over the past 10 years. I find myself constantly comparing accuracy to rifles where I shoot much tighter groups at much longer ranges.
For pistols, I can get reasonable 5” or so groups at 7 to 10 yards. I can hit on the target at 25 to 35 yards in a 10” group or so.
I mostly shoot for ccw self defense proficiency purposes. I have seen people like hickok45 shoot a gong at 80 yards using snub nose revolvers and am impressed, but I know his abilities are not the norm. I doubt I am much better than an average(less than) shot with a pistol.
Shooting pistols is completely different than shooting a rifle.
My question is what do you consider good shooting with a pistol?
