One of the funniest gun incidents I saw was my dad's friend shooting an old water tank with a .38 snubby and it didn't even make a dent. He looked at his gun like there was something wrong with it and we all laughed at him. Then my dad drilled a hole clear through it with a .22 magnum rifle. Hitting something with a short barreled gun doesn't always mean you're hitting effectively, but good shooting like this is still cool to watch.

I dunno. I know of one shooting where a man got shot at close range by a Glock 27 (.40) an the bullet went through the guys arm...chest area...through the heart area...out the otherside chest area.. and out the other side. He died instantly. I would call that very effective.

If your aorta is severed you're going to die fast like that. At 80 yards it would have been a lot less power.

Yeah that's true. Course, that guy had such a big exit hole, even if it didn't hit the aorta.. it was still going to be TKO. As for 80 yards.. mmm yes and no. I wouldn't stand out at 80 yards and let someone shoot my hand with a G27.. would you? I would still say it is effective though.

Bullets coming in your general direction from ANY distance would tend to suck, in my opinion.

No, I wouldn't want to get shot at any range, but It's less effective at extreme long range. Short barreled pistols have less energy to start with and it drops off faster. You could pop a balloon with one at 200 yards but the majority of shots wouldn't be lethal at that range. If you can hit at typical rifle ranges it still doesn't have the impact of a rifle.

when are you going to need to shoot someone in self defense at 80 yards with a glock 27???  thats what the gun in the truck is for... but thats just my opinion.. kudo's to anyone who can shoot a sub compact that well though... i'm positive it's going to help someone to practice that distance.

Yes. Theoretically if your trigger control and sight alignment allow you to hit consistently at 80 yds, you should be good to go at closer ranges.
Nothing like a little distance to show the errors of your way.  ;)

You know I need to try this at the range with some of my guns..  I do know that I can get 5-7 shots out of 13 to hit a big standard shooting circle target at 100 yards. I've tried it a few times bracing the gun on a rest. And that was shooting my G23..Glock .40..with a 4.02in" barrel and wwb ammo. I just wanted to see if I could hit the target.. amazingly I did about half the time with the compact Glock. My buddy tried the same thing with a beretta 9mm and didn't hit once.. but I think I'm a better shot than him anyways.. perhaps I could have got the beretta to have hit too. .dunno..   :)
