Subcompact beats full size...according to friend

[churchmouse]

Don't give me that take Kimber's D*ck out of your mouth... I can out perform any day of the week with a $1400 1911 vs 2 or 3 Blocks for that price Either way, I do the same thing you do, so it's not a big deal, you understand the reasoning behind the logic... And don't give me that blind squirrel YouTube Operator keyboard warrior certified black belt of verbal judo... I found a nut alright, that's you!!!

OK....this ends. If anyone is acting like a keyboard Ninja warrior it is you sir. Give us a break please.
This will be the only warning.

Hey gaiz, what's goi....

Sub compacts are designed for short up close fighting in my opinion Three to seven yards is optimal. I have taken my Shields both 9 and 45 out to 25 yards, wasn't pretty group wise ( no big ragged hole) but the hits were there. I would prefer something bigger at 25 but in a bad situation may be all you have so practice some at 25 yards.

I'm with you. I can make 50 yard shots with a full sized pistol, but never considered using a sub-compact. I might try that. My preference is <25, with a pistol, and anything after that, I'm just firing off rounds to get to a rifle.

I watched Chezuki beat up a steel target at 100 Yds. with his (I think) M&P 9mm. The barrel can not be over 2"s in that gun. He was off hand and hitting 75% if memory serves. That is about what I was hitting with a 5" 1911 but we all know how bad those fat/slow bullets drop.
He may have had a string better than that but it has been a while.

Not sure how much of that should be in purple? I'm confused by this whole thread.

It was a full size M&P9... 4.25”. Pretty consistent hits on 12” steel at 100yds. Think I was only about 2/10 at 200yds though.

It wasn't your shooting I doubted, he had me confused with the whole 2 inch thing. Not to mention the bad talking the .45.

It’s 2” until it gets warmed up.

We did see noticeable bullet drop with the .45’s at 200. 100 wasn’t too bad.

So what CM thought was only 2" was really 4.25", this defies man's logic.....

 

[ChrisK]

Didn’t CM ring steel at 100 yards shooting under a ladder with a RAMI? I know my RAMI is extremely accurate...

I’m only confused by the superine who now it seems is a shooter? The question begs, is he a sub-compact shooter?

 

[1stLast&Always]

The Speed Goat brought me here. . I prefer a 4" barrel. I don't think there's going to be much accuracy difference, depending on the shooter and the ammo/firearm combo. Some loads are developed for shorter barrels. Since the intent for me is SD, I will stick with what feels "right" in my hand. 1/2" extra barrel is nothing to me tucked in. Am I really going to be thinking about that accuracy if I need to draw and fire between 7 and 15 yards? No. It would be point and shoot. Nonetheless I like the balance better, and since I'm now trusting my life to it, I'll take all the comfort I can get. That's if "Me" as the weapon doesn't succeed first.

Just shows what I know about those guns.....

Insert Purple where required.......

I had a couple skip in at 100 but that was factory plinkers.

Yup. It was the only clear line I could get on the target as the line was full. BA was my witness

Thank you zoot suit squirrel... People always seem to get that wrong and think keyboard YouTube operators reign supreme... Again, it's not a 100% solid argument... Facts are facts...

BBI, I am guessing that this is one of the more interesting names you have been called!
