Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Tacoma Cop Makes 180yd Shot on Perp

We need more coos like him. But first, we need to get rid of the scumbags who prevent them from doing their jobs.

Laugh all you want, I can do it.

I used to make money shooting clay pigeons at 100 yards on the berm, with my carry Glock. 5 out of 5 was the offer, and it usually had someone getting out their wallet. Until word got around. I had a Cimmarron copy of the Colt SAA in .45 Colt that I could do it with also. The only folks who laugh about long shots with a handgun are folks that haven’t done it.

I shot handguns competitively for over ten yrs when I was younger dumb chit.

Do what?

Run your suck?
Sure.

Stop an active shooter at 180yds with a duty issued handgun?

Sleep it off chuckhead.

That's a very good shot compared to some LEOs I know, having watched them shoot. That guy is a pro, need more like him.

Well then tell the class exactly what Comp is about stopping Active Shooters at 180yds and how many of those Comps you won.

Oh golly gee I can post a pic also, headshot on a moving hog at 80 yd.

Cop made a good shot with a red dot. I once hit a hog running directly away from me at about 160 or so with a red dot on a 300 blackout ar. The dot pretty much covered the whole pig at the l9nger ranges. That was a ton of fun. I killed 3 out of one group.

I hit the first big sow and the pigs were running everywhere. I shot 9 rounds in about 10 seconds put 3 in the first and 2 rounds into each of the other 2 and must have missed one or two.

The 125g ballistic tips at 2250 worked but didn't really put them down with authority. I bought a 458 socom after that hunt but ditched it after tons of reliability issues. Next time I go to Texas I think I'll take my 350 legend ar and marlin outfitter 444.

Wow that is impressive.

Hey Burnsie, why don't you post up that picture again of the elk you nearly gut-shot at 700?

This is true.
Dude was cool as a cucumber.

John. Roger is a lot better than lots of folks out there. Person wise and shooting wise... FWIW you are barking up a wrong tree here IMHO though I know you could care less.

As to 180 yard shot this shouldn't even be news. It should be a norm. That its news and people are impressed says a lot.

Just checking in to see if the chest thumping was ongoing.

Yes and rising to new levels !

No one seems to question that this "story" cannot be found in any contemporary media.

You guys could get hired by MSNBC or CNN. If somebody says it, it must be true.

Still waiting for all your 1st person accounts of shoot outs with the bad guys, medals awarded, feature stories in the media and what have you. Killing a baby Elk does not qualify.

I did once stop a Jambony with my Bauer 25 trying to steal my CB radio. But he was about 14 and unarmed.

Words from a smart guy.

I liked the way he put his Starbucks on the dash without spilling a drop. Smooth guy.

How many times have you been shot shooting clay pigeons?

Sounds super dangerous

It is with a red dot which is most likely not magnified and a crappy rest!! I think there was some luck with the shot.

Actually, there are plenty media accounts of the incident, if you're smart enough to use a computer. Much more comprehensive than the OP. That's how we know the officer was taking fire and the bad guy died. It also shows the suspects weapons and describes the scenario.

I could have posted it, but I don't like lazy m'fckers.

Las Vegas cops recently got in a shooting with a suspect. Cops fired 38 rounds. Perp was hit once in the elbow.
