Frequently Asked Questions

How can one shoot a snub nose revolver accurately at 200 yards?

Achieving accuracy at 200 yards with a snub nose revolver, as demonstrated by Jerry Miculek, requires advanced marksmanship, including exceptional trigger control, a stable shooting platform, and understanding how shooting position affects point of impact. Practice and familiarity with the firearm are crucial.

What is the Smith & Wesson 340 PD?

The Smith & Wesson 340 PD is a lightweight, J-frame snub nose revolver chambered in .357 Magnum/.38 Special. It features a Scandium alloy frame, making it very light (11.4 oz), and a short 1.875-inch barrel, often used for concealed carry but capable of surprising performance in skilled hands.

Why does shooting a gun upside down affect accuracy?

Shooting a firearm upside down can alter the point of impact because the natural cant of the hand and wrist changes. This shift is often predictable; for example, if a gun naturally shoots right when held normally, it might shoot left when inverted, requiring an adjustment in aim.

What makes Jerry Miculek's 200-yard shot with a snub nose revolver so difficult?

The shot is difficult due to the extreme distance for a snub nose revolver, the unconventional one-handed, upside-down shooting position, and the requirement for precise double-action trigger control with a single finger. This feat showcases world-class marksmanship and firearm control.
