RE: Handgun Shooting

As you probably noticed at the range, it has a lot to do with your sights. The sights on most handguns are sure not meant for fine shooting. The sights that came on my Ruger SBH would cover the whole target at 50 yards. Its hard to shoot real well with those kind of sights. Most 100 yard pistol hunters use scopes. I have the Taurus Ultra lite 44 Mag with the 4 inch barrel Great carry gun for outdoor activities. 26 OZ.

Thanks for the replies. Now you all got me big headed so I won't be able to hit anything. I never really knew what could be expected and I hear about guys shooting handguns at 100 yds. I would dearly love to kill a deer with mine but it looks like it will need to be close and that's OK since I'm mainly a bowhunter anyway.

I use to be able to hit a pie plate at 100yds with my 41 Mag with open sights. I would never attempt a shot on a deer at that range however. I would not shoot at a deer with a handgun over 50 yds, but that is just me.
