.357 with iron sights at 65 yards (195 feet) isn’t impossible. Notice he said he hit him in the thigh. At that distance, aiming for the head on iron sights likely would’ve resulted in a hit below the waist. It’s not natural to aim over a target, but at that range with a revolver, he could make a kill shot. He’d have to understand physics though, and in a shootout situation, most people aren’t busting out a scientific calculator.

It is for me. Anything outside of 6 meters is unlikely with a pistol. ;)

Give me a rifle, and that's a different story.

I thought I was doing good a couple of weeks ago with my .357 to keep all my shots on the steel at 40 yards, with about 50% at COM. This was SLOWFIRE, with no adrenaline and no shots being fired, other than mine, LOL.

He did very well given the circumstances IMO.
