I do not doubt the ability to hit a person with a good revolver fired single action at 165 feet, particularly if it is possible to brace against something.

To put it in perspective, after a hard day of rapid fire shooting at multiple steel plates at 7 yards, the instructors decided to close out the session with a slow fire exercise at 50 yards.

Two of the students--a local policeman a and a ranked IDPA competitor from Texas--each accomplished the following:
  • one hit, two handed;
  • one hit, strong hand;
  • one hit, weak hand;
  • one hit, two hands, gun inverted;
  • one hit, strong hand, gun inverted;
  • one hit, weak hand, gun inverted.

No misses.

They were using large capacity service semi autos.

Bu-- a man's got to know his limitations. I missed six out of six using two hands.
