Gun people: Is it possible to hit a quarter at 50 yards with a .380?

[olds]

This conversation is silly.
A .380 will go more than 50 yards, so yes, it is possible. Now shut the fuck up.
Get on to something important like pancakes.

Accurately? no.
With a 2-inch barrel? LOL
Get real.

I'm just curious.

I heard someone once say they could consistently hit a quarter sized target at 50 yards with a .380 handgun. Does anyone think this is possible?

I am pretty proud of myself when I keep all my shots on target at 25 yards with a 9mm and standard targets. Am I a bad shot or was the other guy telling stories?

I use my .380 s&w bodygaurd to plink a shoe box on the ground 100 yards away, my family thought that's pretty good but I'm sure if i wanted to put 500 rounds as practice I'd hit anything. I can hit a water bottle cap on a tire 50 yards away with my single six. I also don't shoot often, maybe 150 rounds down the pipe in total on the .380 and 200 on the single six.

Somehow it's always a "new" member doing this.

Here's an interesting shot.

A 9mm revolver? That seems like the answer to a question nobody asked.

I think it's a generation thing. I've met plenty of shooters who only do wheels, and pretty much all shooters I know want to save money on plinking loads. Hell of a lot easy on the wallet, and wrist, than a .44 right?

I know a guy who has a revolver in .45ACP, had the cylinder ground out for moon clips. Pretty sweet piece actually.

And yeah holy necro

That's Jerry Miculek. He likes doing all sorts of improbable/impractical shots and making it look easy. The man is a world class shooter and probably found the challenge of lobbing a 9mm bullet at the target amusing.

He's also very friendly and willing to share advice if you ever meet him in person.

Meh, if you can't afford the ammo then find another hobby? I love shooting my .44 magnum.
