A former federal agent who survived a cartel ambush in Mexico in 2011, where his partner died, set a world record by successfully making a 2010 yard handgun shot. Using a 10 mm handgun and standing without the help of a bench or rest, former ICE agent Victor Avila struck a target more than a mile away as part of a series of endeavors to give back to the community. https://www.breitbart.com/border/20...-record-for-worlds-longest-handgun-shot/WOW!

Not to rain on the parade, but I'd technically call that a rifle shot, a very short barrelled rifle, but still a rifle shot. The firearm had a butt stock, was shoulder fired, and utilized a scope. Still impressive, I'm sure I couldn't grab my favorite rifle and make a called shot at a mile, but in this case the fly chit needs to be picked from the pepper.

I'm amazed the bullet even gets there, did you see the elevation on the scope mounts?

That’s a heck of a shot with a rifle on a bench too.

I’d like to know more about the bullet design and the ballistics.
Wouldn’t that shoulder stock setup be illegal for regular Joes?

Obviously an illegitimate offspring of Elmer Keith?
If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.

I'd rather die in a BAD gunfight than a GOOD nursing home.

Pure luck. How many missed?
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
