Thats cute. I can hit an 8 inch steel plate at 100 yards 6 out of 6 times with a ruger 357 blackhawk and my 629 s and w. That's from a rest. Off hand I can do it 5 out if 6 times.Isn’t that what guns are for? I guess I assumed his desire for accuracy was self defense related. Asking about 6 inch groups at 50 yards struck me as a new shooter question, so I was trying to keep things in perspective for him.
OP: I’ve found that all of my guns are more accurate than I am, instead of putting gay red dots and stuff on your gun, just focus on fundamentals at a range you are comfortable at. Slowly move it out until you are happy.
OP didn’t say anything About it NOT being self defense related either. He didn’t mention what his shooting practice was for.
I can hit a man sized target at 100 yards with 10 out of 15 rounds usually. Not getting any groups, but it goes ping. Nothing to brag about, but I can shoot well enough that I’m happy with the results.
Nobody I know is getting 6 inch groups at 50 yards and I think that’s an unrealistic goal for a new shooter to be worried about.
As far as the "gay red dot"......he could absolutely put a red dot on it and have a great time in bullseye leagues......or shoot bullseye league with irons.......I shoot league with irons but don't bust balls of those that use dots.
