Southwest Firearms show your guns!

Some of my favorite ...

Yes it is a Desert Eagle XIX, with the 10" .357 magnum barrel and the Pride Folwler .44 magnum scope. Yes these old eyes are not what they once were. I need a scope under most conditions. The 1-4x works just fine, though I still have the 3-9X Redfield on the Winchester from back in the day. I have not used it in years. Who knows though, some 110 grain loads and I might think about some long range Coyote ambush, or some such.

I use it for shooting at Coyote at 100+ yards. I find it as accurate as my Marlin 1894C, but 2 pounds lighter. Plus it is easier for me to carry ... this is the big reason I use it.

Yes, it is a KelTec PLR 16.

There was a group of us guys here in AZ back in the 1960s who were really into long range handgun shooting. Calibers used were .44, .41, .357 magnums and a Colt flat top in .45 LC . We practiced most every weekend, with cast boolits and iron sights, 4-5 hundred yards was normal range, but if a couple ranging shots could get dust up, could be extended well beyond that.

Many a jack rabbit met their doom out to 150-200+ yards. The guy that used the .45 LC Colt flat top and hot loads was the best shot, once seen him kill a deer at over 300 yards with it.

Elmer Kieth the father of long range handgun shooting, took a deer at 500 yards and was accurate with a .45 acp 1911 out to a few hundred yards. When he demostraded such for army, they were flabbergasted.

How about 24 inch gongs at 1,000 yards with a handgun? As the man says, the biggest problem with long range handgun shooting, lies between one's ears. Practice, practice. practice, may not make one an expert, but it sure makes for improvement.
