how accuratte are you with a semi auto pistol?

[sirmissalot]

I didn't see anyone mention milking the grip. This is where you squeeze the grip of the gun hard (to where you're almost trembling) as you squeeze the trigger. This really helped tighted up my groups. Sounded stupid when I first heard it but after reading about it a little I tried it and it really helped tighten up my groups.

Damn! That is 50 yards!!! 

I'm a *censored*y shot. 

It's a Kimber. The gun makes a huge diference. I am not a semi auto fan. I like my 6" S&W, but I am almost as good with my Kimber. Got rid of the rest of my semi auto's. And before anyone jumps all over me, that's just my prefference.

I have a couple semi's, but in my heart I will always be  a wheelgun man too

I hardly ever punch paper with any of my pistols, in fact cannot remember the last time I did punch paper with them.  Usually I will set up several pop cans and just go to work on them, anywahere from 20' to 25 yards.  I shoot good enough no one would wanna be those pop cans.

Even though I primarily carry a semi auto, I don't knock revolvers. For one thing, they're far more reliable than semi autos. Also, they have the advantage of being able to shoot through say a jacket pocket without impedement of the slide getting caught up on your clothing. I often carry a revolver as a BUG. I'm not even worried about capacity. I have long heard ad populum that the average number of shots in a self defense shooting is between 1 - 3 shots.

averages are deceiving. 

In a sample size of 25 with 24 one shot incidents and one 75 shot incident the average is 3.96.

just saying.  I like having a reload handy.
