1911A2 Combat NCO-The world’s only 400-yard open sight accurate production pisto

[warhawke]

I've seen 300 yards with a glock 19 9mm, a .45 is going to retain more energy due to having twice the weight. IIRC Elmer Keith handed a guy a wad of cash ($500?) and told him to pace off 600 yards and stand still for 6 shots and he could keep the cash if he could walk away, the guy declined.

It's a trick shot, any one who believes buying a particular pistol will make it possible is an idiot, and any one who tries to use it as a selling point is nothing but a scam artist.

Exactly!

I've seen Mucelek shoot a 1-7/8 snubby out to 200 holding it upside down and hit a soda can...Same thing with Munden hitting balloons with a 1911 at 200 or longer.

You mean that if I drop a bundle on one of these custom guns that I wont be able to automatically make 600 yard shots in a 55mph wind?  I'm crushed.

Showed a buddy this the other day and his reaction was "hell that's easy". So now were going the the range tomorrow so that he can show me how easy it is by ringing the 300 yard steel plate with his 1911. It is about 10/12 inches square. I bet him that since he thinks 600 is easy he has no excuse not to hit 80% on his first mag., this should be fun! I can taste the Stone Cellar Stout(local mircobrewery) already.

10"x12" at 300 with a 1911? The bet being 80% (say 5 out of 7) on the first mag? Hell,  I'd bet pistols not beers.
FQ13 who would like in on this bet. I don't care if he is the bastard love child of Elmer Keith and Annie Oakley, your money is safe.

He's got a Springfield Trophy Match with 10 rnd mags so we are talking 8 out of 10. I know he is hell on wheels with this gun at 25 yds or less so I guess I will not be too surprised if he starts ringing the steel but I'm thinking 80% starting cold bore has me in a pretty good spot.
To bet guns, you have to put up guns and I won't part with them anymore. A friendly wager, a cold beer and some good natured ribbing(whichever way it goes) works for me.

I cant do any better than bowling pins at 100 yards with my 1911, and that's about 80% of the time with standard ball. It is not a stock gun, but not super modified Gov. Model. Oh and not from a rest

Any one can do it, after a butt load of experimenting on the same range.
Just watch your "fall of shot" until you find the proper angle to drop the round onto the plate the same way mortar men walk their rounds onto a target.
It's useless as the round is unlikely to retain enough energy to do more than hurt, but it will look cool to the ignorant

I'll need an artillery spotter.  I can't see a bowling pin at 100yds.
