I was having a discussion with a relative earlier today. We were talking about the kinds of grouping an experienced shooter could get, holding the gun in their hand (no bench rest) and trying to get the best possible grouping.
My thoughts were that a good shooter with a good gun might be able to create groups one inch in diameter, maybe less. He felt that this is not possible, hand held.
Since then, I've realized there is a lot more that I don't know. I'm guessing that a handgun in a bench rest could put the bullets into a 1/2" diameter grouping (using a high quality revolver or semi-auto), and a good shooter could maybe keep the grouping to under an inch.
Anybody know what kinds of results the better shooters are able to achieve, using a handgun, hand-held? (....and if possible, are there any links to this in various competitions that have been documented on the 'net?)
