I agree that 100yrds isn't that far and I believe that shooting that far under controlled conditions is very doable.If there is a visible active shooter, at 100yds, I would take cover and take the shot. I shoot pistols out to 100yds all the time, have for years.
Just two weeks ago, I was hitting the 10" round steel plate my club has at 80yds with my Beretta Model 84F 380.
Now, a 380 isn't going to hit at 80yds like the hammer of Thor, but a bullet in the belly may slow him down a bit.
If you think 100yds is far, next time you are at the rifle range, look at the guys changing their targets...100yds isn't far at all.
But when every body is running around, screaming, bleeding, the crack of gunfire, etc... I am not as sure that that distance of shot would be as doable.
Heck, I have completely missed a target at 15yrds in competitions before and that level of stress is nowhere near and active shooter scenario.
I would be interested in any combat reports of handgun shots being made that far successfully.
