[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 2004004, member: 11960"] I've played around at longer ranges with 9mm, 10mm and 45 ACP pistols. It was all just for fun, but they did pretty well with a little practice. I got a Glock 17 in a trade one time and decided to try it at 400 yards while sighting in some other guns. It took a couple of tries to get my drops figured out, but it would hold a 30" group at 400 yards with Winchester white box ammo when shot kneeling with shooting sticks. That's not great, but it's better than I expected. The Dan Wesson Razorback 10mm and Kimber 45acp both did better at around 24" groups at the same range with the same kneeling position. The S&W 610 revolver in 10mm did slightly better still. My ability to accurately hold a good POA with iron sights was the real limiting factor. I wouldn't personally hunt with any of those chamberings much past 50 yards, but it made for some fun afternoons of plinking. [/QUOTE]
