Thanks, guys - I've been doing this a long time, so I'm just grateful I can still see well enough as I age ;)

I did it again yesterday, rifle and pistol at 50 yards...not really encouraging. The only really good one was the "hostage" where I had about 1/2 inch to hit the "bad guy", and nailed the bad guy three times with the AR and irons. And of course, I failed to get a pic... ::)
My son did see some pictures on the phone and wanted to know why one target was down low - I said "that's the guy with the RPG - you have to hit him first." I got some of the photos on the drive at home, post tomorrow.

Great comment about what happened to the 3rd round.  Side note, did you practice with a timer?  I've found given all kinds of time, 3 shots to 50 yds onto a C-zone steel with any pistols isn't a big deal, but add the timer factor, yep, 50/50 at best for me.
Time factor not to mention the quart of adrenaline dumped in your system when someone’s shooting at you😏.   I agree though that practice at longer range can only help.   The more familiar you are with your piece of choice the better you will shoot it.    Find A gun you want to (and will) carry, and then do your best to wear it out through firing Lots of rounds.

I love the challenge of shooting long range with pistols. I commonly put clays on the 50 yd berm, but I don't get to draw at that public range. Then afterward I break out the mkII to finish off the fragments.

Due to my past life, I have been in a few scraps both on duty and off duty.

I believe in being able to make long shots with a pistol, I mean 50 to 100 yards. I used to train with my duty pistol out to 100. Being a long time ago the pistol was just a stock Hi Power or later a Glock.

My longest for real shot was right at about 100 meters so a little over 100 yards, this was made with a Hi Power.

I also owned a micro Uzi, that was a track driver and allowed easy 100 meter shots. Being in Israel, when I would go to social events I would carry this gun as my "long" gun over my Colt Commando.

Now years later, with a red dot on my CZ P07, the shots have actually become easier. I carry the setting on the red dot with it being bigger so it will be faster to pick up in the majority of self defense situations. If faced with a real life long shot I would from a position of cover dial down the red dot to the smallest I could see under the lighting at that time.

It really is simple, just know and remember the bullet drop for your carry loads. Added to dry fire work at least 4 times a week. You will be surprised at how easy hits at 100 become with a lot of hard work.
