Stretching out your 9mms

[Alan]

Let’s change the topic from “which brand is superior” to “what truly delivers results.” If you’ve optimized a 9mm platform for hitting targets at 100 yards, what barrel dimensions, chamber styles, triggers, and ammo loads contributed to your success? I’d love to see your group size data and any tuning notes you have!

Allen another deep question, I talked about MPBR on the scope zero thread. MPBR for a standard fmj 9mm fired from a 16in carbine, zeroed at 50 yards is slightly over 100 yards with a 6 in zone. Standard effective pistol range is about 25 to 40. When the IDF mounts their pistols in the Roni frame they can stretch that out to 50- 75 yards. 100 yard group should be able to 3 to 4 moa. Better equipment can reduce that taking more out of the shooter. But remember for many years the tightest 1000 yard group was held by a shooter with a black powder 45 70, yes it's a mortar at that range but it's a constant mortar.
