Everyone here wrote about power and distance. My point is distance! Some say max is 10yds other say 20yds and some say more(?)! I say, what is YOUR max distance! A lesson I have learned hunting with a hand gun(longer barrel & much more power) is to know what your max range is and learn to recognize that yardage! This post is about CCW guns, 2" & 3" w/nonadjustable sights. My point still applies! In my younger days I could hit a pop can at 200ft, consistently, with a 3" mod 36, today(?). Know what YOU can do at a longer distance and use the rounds and grips you carry. It will make you better at the closer distances!
