.357 with iron sights at 65 yards (195 feet) isn’t impossible.

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

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

Best I’ve shot was 12 shots of .40 cal. from a Springfield in the 8 ring at 30 meters from prone with a rest. I couldn’t do it again if you paid me. I normally train at 3 - 5 meters max.

That was a heck of a shot, and I bet there is more behind his making that shot than just “luck.”

I met a guy who once popped balloons with with a snubbie. At 300 yards.

Of course, this guy burns hundreds, if not thousands of rounds of ammo a day practicing - that's what he does. He can also fire a revolver faster than it is physically possible to fire a semi-auto pistol.

In any case, most guns are far more accurate than the people shooting them. If I understand correctly, the length of the gun is about the site radius (and, of course, muzzle velocity). I bet that guy put in a lot of practice with that pistol.
