Prior to 1996 when we were issued revolvers (4" S&W M 10's and Ruger GP100's) we would qualify out to 25 meters/yards.
Now w Th the G17 we are told the pistol is a 15 m weapon only.
I regularly shoot to 25 meters with my 4" .38 S&W Victory and 50 meters with my 6" 696 AFS.
Even with my 1911's I practice on a 10" steel disc out to 40-45 meters. In my last completion I took 6 rounds with my ammunition in a borrowed gun to hit 3 8" plates at 42 meters.
The secret is to practice at those distances.
