May it never be needed, ever.  But if it has to happen, may the good guy be the one with the skills.

Read about this today. Good for him.
Actually a 165 yard shot with a .357 Magnum 5" revolver. O0
So he was likely a rifleman with a very SBR. :~

Only the audio comes thru on the YT vid. At least on my c' puter.

WELCOME to TEXAS-----Y'ALL
A moral compass provides a basis for making decisions; an action is good or bad, right or wrong when viewed in the light of the individual's moral bearing. If no moral compass exists for the individual, then decisions and actions are made on the basis of purely subjective thoughts. This leads to "If it makes me happy, or makes me feel good, or if it's something I simply want to do, then it is right and good."

Does this mean that we're going to start teaching KD come-ups for .357's?

Ballistics on a .357 are super flat... or so I've been told. Not really any come-ups to speak of. You should be able to just take it out to distance.

Thanks for posting. I showed it to some LEOs and they all loved it. 

I also got a chance to shoot a fronds 1911. I was a lot more accurate with it than my current HK 40.  Why is it things work like that.

Flat is a relative term.

Inside 125 yards I would tend to agree, but 165 yards definitely requires skill -

"Unhappy it is, though, to reflect that a brother's sword has been sheathed in a brother's breast and that the once-happy and peaceful plains of America are either to be drenched with blood or inhabited by a race of slaves.  Sad alternative!  But can a virtuous man hesitate in his choice?" - George Washington - from a letter to a close friend after the events of April 19, 1775

"There is no nation on earth powerful enough to accomplish our (the United States) overthrow.  Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from another quarter.  From the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government, from their carelessness and negligence, I must confess that I do apprehend some danger.  I fear that they may place too implicit a confidence in their public servants, and fail properly to scrutinize their conduct; that in this way they may be made the dupes of designing men, and become the instruments of their own undoing." - Daniel Webster, June 1, 1837
