Fuck. That.

While it doesn’t take that long to learn how to shoot a pistol and become proficient at it, shooting at that distance is still is not a guaranteed bullseye. I wouldn’t trust anyone to at shoot me like that at over 2 yards. (In the picture, they are 3-4 yards max, I speculate.)

While I am an expert rifle shot, pistols are just not my thing. After about +5000 rounds only using iron sights, I can keep my shots roughly center mast at around 10 yards. I can generally get lead on target at 25 yards. (I am a bad pistol shot, without a doubt. My goal is to maintain my skill level for self-defense, so that is fine.)

That’s a killer demonstration. Get it?
