I shot my woods carry pistol at 100yds offhand and was pleased.

My SA XDM Elite OSP 3.8" 10mm is an amazing little pistol. It is the most accurate handgun I've owned and will do 3/4" 5-shot groups at 25yds with a rest. I was curious to see if I could hit a steel silhouette pig at 100yds with it...

Iffin the gun is accurate enough to shoot under an inch @ 25 yards, then the thought if it can hit a plate size target @ 100 is a no-brainer. For the most part, a good bullet is not going to go crazy and deviate from it's path after 25 yards, if it's path was straight and true before that 25 yards. I shoot all my handguns at 100 yards regularly. Normal range is 40 yards. Really no reason to shoot any closer unless it is for speed. Most folks never shoot farther than 25 yards with their handguns, with the mindset that's all they are good for......then are surprised when they find out different, especially when they use a decent rest.

I'm impressed. I've never tried any of my handguns past 50 yards.

Liked and subscribed.
Nice shootin

 

[cfullgraf]

Well done.

I used compete in IHMSA handgun silhouette competition. One class I competed in was standing with a revolver. It was a hoot especially the 200 meter rams.

We had the advantage of adjustable sights and recorded the sight settings for the various ranges.

I'm impressed. I've never tried any of my handguns past 50 yards.

A very long time ago I shot my Ruger Super BH .44 mag with a scope at 100 for grins. That 4 inch drop was enough for me to say nah. In my carbine different story. Ever since that experiment 50 is max for pistol...

About a week before deer season, we all get together here at my place to check zero on out deer guns (also known as "shooting most of your slugs" trying to get in the black.....[then scramblingto find more somewhere] )...
My 45colt Blackhawk is a good shooter.
With my 255gr swc handloads I can mostly stay on a paper plate at 75yds.

I really enjoy long range "artillery" shooting out to silly distances. People tend to be genuinely shocked at what heavy revolvers can manage at hundreds of yards.

I'll admit that I've tried almost none of it with a striker-fired 10mm, though. I can barely even hit at 25 yards, so...

In the late '70s - early '80s when I was heavy into handgun metallic silhouette shooting, any International-class shooter could shoot 4-5" groups at 200 meters from Creedmore position with a properly set up open-sight Unlimited gun and often with their Production gun.
I recall an International match where 60 shooters shot 80X80 scores in the Unlimited class. The shootoff was snuff cans at 150 meters. We taped the cans upright on the target stands. A hit produced an impressive cloud of chew!
I don't recall how many cans the winner hit in a row, but I know it was over 15.
I got 11 with my tricked-out XP-100 in 7IHMSA before I missed.
I still have my Wichita Production gun, but haven't fired it in years.

 

[Peakbagger46]

Nice shooting. Always fun to go long with handguns, as a bonus the closer shots seem easy after.

 

[Shawn Dodson]

Nice shooting!

Shooting my G43, I can consistently hit a 2/3 size IDPA steel target at 85 yards, with my 124gr FMJ handloads.

 

[PistoleroWadcutterGANG]

Glock 34 with handloaded 9mm makes cake work out of clays at 50 yards. Can't wait to load up for my new "Lady Smith" (lol) 65-5. Time to get casting.

 

[Riomouse911]

The torso-sized silhouettes in the far back are at 50 yards, if I shot at the right one from the left side of the range it stretched to maaaaybe 60.

Easy pickins’ for the target 9mm’s I brought, not as easy for the smaller guns.

I would like to try 100 yds with them, It’ll have to be another day I guess.

Nice job ringing that pig!

Stay safe.

 

[JDGray]

Great shooting! My Son picked up my LCP 380 that he never shot before, hit a piece of truck frame that was at the 100yrd line, twice!! Lmao

Good Lord, what cartridge is that monster chambered for?
I've only ever seen Wichita singles in books. Very cool.

 

[mavracer]

I always get a kick outta the crowds that think it's just impossible to shoot handguns past some arbitrary short range accurately.
I regularly shoot snubs/pocket pistols at 25 yards, by comparison a full size gun at 100 yards is similar fundamentally.
Had a buddy sighting in his AR @100 and when he was done I shot a cylinder full of 38s from my 686SSR standing unsupported, when we went downrange to look he said "un&$;!#believable" I had put a nice group dead center in the lower abdomen of the B27 that could be covered by a pie plate.

I like my XDM-10 compact, but it certainly isn't my most accurate handgun.

My SA XDM Elite OSP 3.8" 10mm is an amazing little pistol. It is the most accurate handgun I've owned

 

[35 Whelen]

Good shooting, especially with such a small pistol!

I really enjoy shooting handguns from 50-100 yds. (sometimes further)

The Model 10's are so easy to shoot accurately.

I shoot very frequently all my guns at a 100 yards. I've come to realize that most of the time even including my 1911 as slow as the bullet is , point of aim is the way to go at 100 yards. I tried to compensate for bullet drop but realized soon that the gun was already 5 ft off the ground as I was standing and did not need to compensate by aiming higher. Nice shooting.

It's the 7mm IHMSA Rimmed cartridge. Basically a 30-30 case necked down to 7mm with a 40 degree shoulder. It's way over-bore capacity in a 10" or 14" barrel and you can load it to insane velocities. Super accurate, though.

 

[GRIZ22]

I used to shoot my S&W 640 loaded with wadcutters at a metal IPSC silhouette at 100 yds DA.Mostly 5 out of 5.

Don't know if I could do it now.

I'm not sure this is exactly the same cartridge and I did not know Wichita chambered it in their pistol but in the early 1980's IHMSA developed a round based on the 30-30 case that could be used in a T/C Contender. The round is called the 7mm International Rimmed. it is similar to the 7-30 Walters. Run the 30-30 case through a 7mm Int Rimmed sizing die, fire form the case and you are good to go.

It was a good round to get started in Unlimited Class in IHMSA competition, IHMSA sold rechambered 7mm TCU barrels. The cases were easy to make. Contenders were reasonably priced versus the various bolt pistols on the market at the time.

My Super 14 Contender chambeered in 7mm International rimmed is a good shooter.
