Anyone push their handgun's limits? I have shot my Browning Hi-Power Practical 9mm at 50 Yds but never longer. My Hi-power has the original FN Belgium tangent/adjustable sights which many love for longer range shooting. Amazing that the 9mm bullet will travel over 3 miles and is certainly has capability of ranges outside of the typical 25 yds that most of us shoot.
Interesting video:

I had a Dan Wesson 357 mag with an 8" barrel that I would shoot out to 200 yards. It was a shooter. Alas it was stolen out of my truck

Did you hear about the giant bear that was hit and killed near the Hillsgrove Inn last week?

I have 2 S&W 44 mags. A 629DX, and a 29 Performance Center. The DX is scoped. The PC is open sights. The DX will put all 6 rounds of my handloads in a 5” circle at 100 yards from a bench. The 29 will do the same but I have to practice a lot more to get back to that accuracy.
I wouldn’t hesitate to take a deer shot with either out to 100 yards.

A handgun is worthless to me unless it's hand to hand combat.

I have a .357 Herrett and it's good out to 200 yards. I was shooting it at a local gun range when two troopers showed up to practice at 9 yards. I had placed a turkey head target out at 75 yards and I heard the one trooper say to the other that "He might as well throw the bullets out there" and then they both chuckled. I took three shots and placed all within the turkey's head. I removed the target and walked over the troopers and before I got to them the one said yea, I was watching you through the binoculars. I told them this is what they need to use. Just leave the bad guys shoot their automatic pistols gangster style and then cut them in half at a two hundred yards.
