Going prone and using a handgun one can hit a human sized target out to 100 yards. Several of the shots have been at about 100 yards distance.
Thank you Harpseal!!! I made a similar statement on a related thread and couldn't believe the flak I got.
I'm starting to think that most of the posters who like to comment about firearms have never really even held onto one... I can consistently hit a man sized target at 100 yards with my scoped 8 5/8" barreled .454 cassull and yes for those of you who talk alot but don't have the info that is a revolver! I'm not bragging most people at the range can do it too, I'm just trying to clear up the disinformation being posted here.
With all of the comments like "It takes a trained sharpshooter to make a 100 yard shot" blah blah blah! You'd think that the closest any of you ever came to a rifle was watching re-runs of gunsmoke! I do not know one single person who owns a rifle that could not consistently hit a man sized target at 100 yards. 100 yards with a rifle is NOT long range, in fact that is short range in most peoples books! We have a 400 yard range at my club, 400 is long range 100 is not! If you can't hit a man sized target at 100 yards with a rifle then you had probably hang it up. I'm not sure where these people get this mis-information.
To put it bluntly 90%+ of the people in the nation who own a rifle are capable of making these types of shots. I guess that you people need to get out to the range more.
Now I'm with most of you, I think it is terror related the whole mess just stinks of terrorism but jeez people check your gun facts!

RebelDawg is correct. With my .357 and iron site, from the prone I can consistently hit a medium sized target at 100 yards. Of course, it's a little bit big for CCW.
A whole lot of posts back on an earlier thread I was asked for my estimate of how many people could make the shots involved. I answered several million. The answer I gave was not a more detailed answer only because I have no idea how many rifle shooters there are in that area.
