With young eyes, good technique, the proper equipment, and good ammo, it's possible to consistently hold 1 MOA with a pistol.Snuff can at 200 yards with a pistol and iron sights? Sorry, but I would have to see that to believe it.

The pistols look like this:

...and until you've shot one, you can't understand what's possible.
Oh, and those snuff cans? The last time I saw an IHMSA shoot-off using snuff cans was before the rules were changed to require target-shaped targets for shoot-offs. In the early days, anything could be used as a target to break ties. Anyway, the last time I saw it done, the snuff cans were painted orange and laid flat on the rail. The visible target was less than three inches wide and less than an inch tall. The winner hit 3 of 5 in 2 minutes.
Here's a more normal shoot. These targets are about 5 inches across the body, being shot at 200 meters with iron-sight pistols. Note the banter; the shooters are taking note of POI changes of an inch or two as if those are significant. Why? Because they are significant. Shooters at this level expect to be able to hit something half this size every time. These chickens, under good conditions, are virtual "gimmes" for shooters who are on top of their game.
If you don't believe snuff cans at 200 can be hit more often than not with iron-sight handguns, from position, then you haven't spent enough time around people who know how to shoot.
That's so cute.That’s not a pistol.

lolI like to practice at the 3 yd line. Then I don't miss the paper as often.

Nice revolver too.Why I bought a Dan Wesson 15-2 pistol pac in the 1st place.
Thanks Ben.
I am willing to bet he has.For crying out loud.
Try that with a 4" barrel revolver or pistol, not an SBR.
I am willing to bet he has.
It isn't impossible just because you can't do it.
How many sighters before a hit?
