What firearm are you most efficient with?

[blindndead]

Just for fun, what firearm do you have that you are you most efficient with? With a little bragging what was the best shot you have ever pulled off? I myself love testing my skills with my Ruger 10/22 I set up a target stand at 50 yards no big deal and taped a quarter on the board and dinged the bottom left of the coin using only the iron sights what a good feeling that was bet I cant do that again

I can make cloverleafs at 25 yards with my Derr tuned Smith 1911.

Last weekend I split a Burger King straw in half from 20yards with the stock sight on my cousins Ruger break barrel pellet gun.

 

[LandOLakeS]

I can hit a 12" target at 100 yards with my Mosin. I know, i need to shoot more.

Cool, I say thats pretty efficent.

 

[RugerSlinger]

I have a ruger super black hawk 44mag with a 7.5in barrel that i have shot 1inch groups with at 50yds with iron sights if thats what you want to call it. For a scoped rifle i just shot a .5in group at 300yds with this weekend, now i was very impressed with that, it normally shoots .75in groups at 300. My 1911 i have shot 1in groups off hand 8 shots 10yds.

What's your criteria for efficiency?

Or did you mean proficient?

The two firearms I shoot most often are a Remington 700 and a Glock 20.

I have been routinely shooting golf-balls at 100 yards with the prior and occationally practicing shooting torso targets at 100 yards with the later.

I can get >90% of my shots down the range with my Sig P229. Damn foot still hurts

Proficient sounds more better.

The key to everything is practice practice practice. There's no replacement for range time.

I did the same thing with the same rifle, but I hit mine on the third shot...
Now the quarter in on my key ring.

blind,

I wasn't trying to bust your chops. While I figured you meant proficient, I can seem some very real efficiency tests as well, especially if you consider the cost or weight of ammunition.

 

[wiskie762]

i can hit an 8.5 x 11" at 50 yards target with my m44. Im getting better.

4" clay pidgeon on a 100 yard back stop - second shot with with iron sights of a Mk IV Enfield in .303 Brit.

A friend described the miss of the first shot in inches high / inches right (sights were not zeroed) and I did my own hold-overs to hit with the second shot

Well, Saturday at the NES car shoot... I had my Mosin aimed at the front left (driver side) rim/tire and after I pulled the trigger, the rim broke and the car dropped down about 5 inches. Keep in mind, this is after others with their .223's had been picking off the spokes, but my shot was the one who broke the camels back
There was a witness to the shot as well

Edit: A friend of mine had a pretty damn lucky shot while I was in Montana a few years back. He was trying to pick off a clay that was placed on the mountain side about 100 yards out with his AK. He got frustrated and fired off about 5 shots from the hip. The first shot hit the clay without him even realizing it!

 

[45collector]

I do pretty ok with either a Makarov or 1911.

 

[bbarer]

I once hit a barn with a shotgun....Seriously the 1911 mostly from 30 years of bullseye competition with one. Funny I recently started shooting IDPA and still can hit anything...just takes me triple the time of everyone else!!

 

[JohnMarston]

at 15 yards i can put a ragged hole in the dirty bird with my M&P 45 full size. its my favorite handgun to date! My silly savage axis in .243 and i do bugholes at 100 yds with 58gr factory hornady ammo

My .88 magnum, it shoots through schools.

Hunting in NYS with my Ruger Redhawk 44 Mag. with a x2 scope. Used an unsupported 2 hand hold and shot the top of the heart off a doe (broadside) at 125 paces. She ran 25 yards and collapsed.

It was a lucky shot.

I loved hunting with that pistol. Now, NYS won't let me bring it back to hunt. [sad2]

 

[oldguy]

50 yards with a old beat up mossberg 500 24'' smooth bore and a cheap tasco scope I can hit a 3''x3'' stickey note with 1 oz rem slugs most of the time.

 

[josh2600]

Here's a .45 casing I shot at 50 yds with a 4x scoped Marlin 795 from prone with bipod.

 

[appraiser]

I am most accurate and proficient with my 3rd gen Glock 22, although the G17 is a close second.

 

[josh2600]

As far as pistols, I'm most accurate with my 1911, but overall proficiency wise(draw, shoot, reload, etc etc), I'd say my SR9c.

 

[cfreedman]

My Smith and Wesson Model 629 without question

That's awesome.

nice.

Pistol hunting must be pretty fun. How come no more? Did they outlaw it there or something?

I actually surprise myself when I shoot my .44 Desert Eagle.

Nope. You must be a NYS resident to have a pistol in NYS. No non-resident licenses. Only exception is a sanctioned pistol match - you may bring them in and take them right out. I even asked the DEC when I applied for a non-resident hunting license. <sigh>
