Amazing Pistol Accuracy — 50 Yards with .45 ACP, One-Handed
How accurate can a .45 ACP pistol be, in the hands of an expert marksman? Take a look at that target. This was shot off-hand (no rest) with ONE HAND at FIFTY (50) Yards. That’s TEN shots at 50 yards all inside the 3.36″ 10-Ring with eight shots in the 1.695″ diameter X-Ring.* We bet most folks would have trouble matching that with a scoped rifle shot standing.
Amazing Handgun Accuracy at 50 yards
This remarkable feat of precision pistol shooting — a 100-8X group at 50 yards — was accomplished this week by PFC Jason Gregoire, a talented young USAMU pistol marksman. And yes, that was done shooting one-handed!
On its Facebook Page the USAMU posted: “Check out this impressive target by PFC Jason Gregoire of the USAMU Service Pistol Team! This was shot one-handed, with a .45 pistol, and at 50 yards during the Centerfire Match in Columbus, Ohio [on 7/1/2020]. The score was 100-8X. Now that is some marksmanship!”.

Wow! Simply amazing. Would enjoy learning more about the pistol & load.
Outstanding.
SIN DUDAS, ES UNA AGRUPACIÓN ABSOLUTAMENTE SORPRENDENTE, PROPIA DE UN GRAN TIRADOR Y DE UN ARMA FORMIDABLE. CON DOS MANOS NECESARIAMENTE SE PUEDE MEJORAR O IGUALAR PERO CON MUCHO MAYOR VELOCIDAD. LO MÁS INTERESANTE ES EL CALIBRE Y LA PRECISIÓN LOGRADA EN EL ARMA. TAMBIÉN SERÍA INTERESANTE CONOCER EL CAÑON, EL TIPO DE MANGUITO U OTRO.
I GIVE COMPLIMENTS WHEN THEY ARE DUE, THAT 50 YRD. GROUPING WITH THAT .45, WITH ONE HAND IS FANTABULOUS, SINCERELY, STERLING JORDAN
