100 yards shooting with a Glock ;)

Call me a liar

I was shooting with a friend a few weeks back at his property. He had a mailbox that he made himself out of 3/8 steel plate (really gets the kids with ball bats). We were at the top of his driveway and with his uber expensive laser guided thermo nuclear hi power range finder (that he paid about 400 dollars too much for) he said it was 140 yards. I was shooting some of my reloads, 200 gr lswc loaded over 4.6gr of IMR 700x. Stock Glock 21, stock barrel. Mepro adjustable night sights, some trigger work. Hit the mailbox on the first try and 3 out of 4 total. I was shooting at the front of the mailbox, A square door approx 10x10 inches. He ended up owing me 50 bucks.

While waiting for "cold range" one day, I shot one magazine through my g-19 to my target at 200yds and had 4 hits. It seems like the ammo box chart listed 4" drop at 100 yds, IIRC.

Let us not confuse the issue with facts.

A 9mm Parabellum sighted in at 25 yards hits about six inches low at 100 yards.

To be all over the target and not having a single shot end up at 6'O'clock means the aim is way off.

A good shot would have left a large and quite ragged hole in the 6 p.m. position.

I do much better with my .45 acp at 100 yards than the above-mentioned target.

Just hold over about a foot (drop is 13 inches on a 230-grain lead bullet) and squeeze.

In other words aim just over the assailant's head.

100 yards is real close.

Aim a hair high.

Ive yet to try anything beyond 25yds with a handgun. I havent got good at that distance no need to step back anymore. But in a pistol class I took last year we did drill where we started at 20yds or so firing at a 12x12 steel plate mounted on a post. Two tries to make a hit at each distance. The ones that made their hits stepped back another 15yds and tried again. The ones that missed were out. I was out in after the first round with the XD on day one and made it to the 3rd round with the CZ on day 2. After class I realized how for right my CZ shoots.
There were several guys still standing at the 100yd mark, to break the tie they had to do one handed shooting(which the bullseye shooters preferred) then weak handed. The guys that made it were shooting 1911s, Glock and the instructor HK. The 1911 .45 shooter said he was aiming at the very top of the plate to make the hits.
No one around here really shoots handguns, so I was very impressed with that drill.
Good shooting!

Wife and I took a 2 to 200 yards pistol class. Shot a 10" gong at 200 yards rather successfully.

That said, some tool launched one over the berm at 200 two weeks ago.
