Pistol accuracy at 25 yards
« on: October 11, 2009, 12:07:22 AM »
I was wondering what kind of accuracy people get at 25 yards with high powered pistols. I have a glock 23 and can barely see a target printed on an 8.5x11" sheet of paper through the iron sights. Is that a problem for anyone else? Does any one have any suggestions on how to improve my accuracy?

That's a long range for pistol work; many of those who pursue it use optical sights and other specialized equipment.

The most I ever practice at was 50 feet, the maximum length at an indoor range I once used.  My interest is solely in defensive use, so I practice up to a range of about 21 feet---I figure if the threat is 25 yards away, I will run away to seek cover.

I can hit steel swingers at 50 yards pretty consistently with most of my handguns.  Mind, I'd sure prefer to practice at more realistic distances, but Kokohead has what Kokohead has!
