.22 Handguns At 100 Yards

This video compares Fiocchi Range Dynamics and CCI Standard Velocity .22LR ammunition at 100 yards using a CZ 457 rifle. While both ammunitions are 40-grain lead round nose, the Fiocchi exhibited significant inconsistency and flyers, resulting in a larger average group size (2.23 inches) and mean radius (.73 MOA). CCI Standard Velocity, despite also having flyers, demonstrated better overall consistency with a slightly smaller average group size (2.21 inches) and a tighter mean radius (.66 MOA), making it the preferred choice for accuracy in this specific rifle setup.

This video provides a direct comparison of CCI Mini Mag and Aguila Super Extra High Velocity .22LR ammunition fired at 100 yards using a Ruger Precision Rimfire rifle. The instructor, demonstrating experienced authority, shows the impact points of both ammunition types on sighting targets, offering a practical look at their performance at range.

This video explores the long-range capabilities of two competition-grade 1911 pistols, the Gearsun Match Checks and the Gearsun Witness X (referred to as Influencer X). The instructor demonstrates shooting at 50, 100, and 180 yards, highlighting the effectiveness of red dot sights for extended distances compared to iron sights. The Gearsun Witness X, chambered in 9mm, proved surprisingly capable at 180 yards with an optic.

This video demonstrates the process of achieving accurate 9mm pistol hits at 100 yards using iron sights on a CZ 75. The shooter details the challenges of compensating for bullet drop and windage ('Kentucky windage') when the front sight can obscure the target. Through careful adjustment and steady trigger control, consistent hits on a 16-inch steel gong were achieved, highlighting the CZ 75's potential for extended-range accuracy even with budget ammunition.

This guide details a 100-yard accuracy test for the Ruger Precision Rifle in .300 Win Mag, as demonstrated by Yoki Sturrup. It covers setup, ammunition selection, and shooting techniques for achieving precision hits on steel and even challenging targets like a 7UP can. Sturrup's authoritative instruction highlights the rifle's performance and key features.

This video compares the grouping performance of SK Long Range Match and CCI Standard Velocity 22 LR ammunition at 100 yards using a CZ 457 rifle. The SK Long Range Match ammunition demonstrated a tighter average group size and smaller mean radius, suggesting superior precision for target shooting applications compared to the more budget-friendly CCI Standard Velocity.

This guide, informed by Roy Huntington, Editor of American Handgunner Magazine, details the critical differences between buckshot and birdshot for home defense. It covers their physical characteristics, penetration capabilities through walls, and effectiveness at close range. The advice emphasizes choosing a load based on concerns about over-penetration while stressing the universal importance of training, target identification, and using a light for any home defense scenario.

This guide details the field stripping process for a 1911 pistol, presented by Roy Huntington, Publisher of American Handgunner. It covers essential safety checks, step-by-step disassembly, and reassembly, emphasizing techniques to prevent damage. An alternative 'cheat' method for faster disassembly is also demonstrated, along with advice on using specialized tools for tight components.

This video showcases an exceptionally rare find: a first-generation 1873 Colt Single Action Peacemaker, discovered via metal detecting in Arizona. The expert speaker details its museum-quality condition, dating it to 1875, and analyzes the authentic patina and wear, including specific gutta-percha grip details and muzzle wear from holster friction. The firearm's discovery context among homestead ruins adds to its historical narrative.

This guide, presented by Roy Huntington, Editor of American Handgunner Magazine, outlines an efficient '5-minute clean' for modern semi-automatic pistols like the Glock 26/27. It emphasizes that over-cleaning is unnecessary and can cause premature wear. The process focuses on targeted cleaning of critical areas like the barrel and slide rails, with minimal lubrication applied only to high-friction points. Proper function checks after reassembly are also highlighted.
