I drink Glock kool-aide... It's just simple and I can focus on what is important. Shooting. Quite honestly, if you can't pick up a stock Glock (or other standard polymer striker fired pistol) and put together a 50 yard group, you probably shouldn't be spending any more money on pistols.
I'm sure at this point in my shooting life, I could get some performance gains by making some changes, but #shrug
Oh come on. The bar is 50 yard groups? Unless someone is practicing for bullseye, how many people even attempt to shoot pistol groups at 50 yds? Probably near zero.
I saw a Beretta with a comp, I need to buy a threaded barrel for it and try it out.Try a compensator on your Glock

If you (any shooter) can't put together a group at 50 yards, you probably can't do it at 25, either.Oh come on. The bar is 50 yard groups? Unless someone is practicing for bullseye, how many people even attempt to shoot pistol groups at 50 yds? Probably near zero.

Depends on the shooter, but for me, I score a bit better with the rifle at 200 than I do with the pistol at 50 (one-handed). With the pistol, I probably average 88-90: rifle slightly higher.Just a random thought....How would you compare shooting a pistol @ 50 to shooting a rifle standing unsupported ? Same as maybe 200 ? 300?
I have some practicing to do then!Since the thread is already derailed, I'll just say this. Everyone wants to carry a pistol and fantasize about plugging some active shooter, and then thinks they get to control the distance of a potential engagement. I'll tell you my theory on pistols. You should be deadly at 50, dangerous at 100, and mildly annoying at 200. Hows that for nuts?
At a minimum be able to hit a E type silhouette at 50 yards. Those thing are monster large. haha I love stretching the legs on .44 or things like my 1911. That being said in the vast majority of situations if I were to find myself in a situation where I'm trying to engage somebody at 50 yards with a handgun, I'm almost certainly in a position I can just not be where I'm at any more.Since the thread is already derailed, I'll just say this.

At 200 yards you need not be at whatever location you are at anymore. Unless you plan on being mistaken as the aggressor. I don't even take handguns anywhere near that far. 50 is max for me, I think we've done 100 on steel for hahas with a desert eagle. Otherwise I'm good.200yds with a short barrel..9mm? I would be annoyed at wasting the ammo.
Information that supports my not taking handguns above 50...
What kind of S&W revolvers? As posted initially, I got a 327 PC and I love the thing. It shoots great, and is smooth as hell. Though I am cautious with round count given the materials. (though I haven't seen any cases stating any long term issues yet)1911: Colt
AR: Windham Weaponry
Revolver: S&W
Plastic Fantastic: Glock
Rimfire: S&W 15-22, M&P22
Shotgun: Benelli & Browning

My point was that a pistol is very difficult to shoot accurately.

I own quite an "array" of different fire arms. Like you......the ones I love the most are my hunting guns. They get the most use of anything in my safe and each one has so many stories of time spent in the field. My most cherished of them all is my beat to hell Mossberg 500. It was my first long gun and I've harvested everything you can legally hunt with a shotgun with that one gun. It is beat to hell......but works perfectly still and has never let me down. I a few "higher end" guns for hunting.......but I find myself taking that old Mossberg to the woods more than any of them and find myself more successful when I have it particularly when I'm out for rabbit and snowshoe hare......because I go in the thick shit where that game is found and I'm not worried about denting or scratching the furniture!I like hunting shotguns. I don't consider myself a Fudd, but I am a bird hunter and field shotguns interest me more than anything else for whatever reason

Couldn't agree more. haha Though I was at the range this morning with a buddy who whipped out a Glock 29. While fun to shoot and fits my hands fine still. Holy hell was that thing a chubby bastard. It did bring a smile to my face though so what can I say.I carry a G43 most of the time. With it I'm deadly at 25 yards, dangerous at 50 yards, annoying at 100 yards - and if you're 200 yards away? - I'm leaving. Seriously.
My role in life isn't to kill other people. It's to protect myself and my loved ones. If you're 200 yards away and shooting at me - I need to get to my truck and get my rifle or get to my truck and LEAVE. My Glock 43 isn't going to cut it.

I've rolled my eyes over threads on NES when a new gun owner is discussing how much 9mm ammo to stockpile for a WROL situation. Yeah......guy owns one 9mm handgun and considers himself a "prepper". Dude.......what the hell are you going to do with a handgun and 10,000 rounds of 9mm? Take the $ your spending on stockpiles of 9mm and buy a damn rifle. My usual response to such nonsense is:I carry a G43 most of the time. With it I'm deadly at 25 yards, dangerous at 50 yards, annoying at 100 yards - and if you're 200 yards away? - I'm leaving.
