    1,000yd Shot With A Handgun? Yep, Jerry Mikulek, 9mm - This Is For 44man!

    44man, you came immediately to mind when I saw this, I know you will appreciate it, well up to the point that it isn't a .44!

    Got a .22 .30 .32 .357 .38 .40 .41 .44 .45 .480 or .500 S&W cylinder that needs throats honed? 9mm, 10mm/40S&W, 45 ACP pistol barrel that won't "plunk" your handloads? 480 Ruger or 475 Linebaugh cylinder that needs the "step" reamed to 6° 30min chamfer?

    Offhand, beyond impressive. I was expecting it to be from a rest.

    I have been a BIG fan of his for years.
    One thing I always wanted to see. A zombie film set in Louisiana starring Jerry Miculek. Couldn't call it a feature movie, more like a short film or maybe an infomercial. LOL!

    If given the choice of facing off in firefight between 10 gangbangers with full auto AK's or Jerry w/ a single shot .22......I'll take my chances with the ghetto trash!!!





    On the off chance any of you guys are wondering who this man is???
    watch this one too.

    It looks like he just throws the reloads into the cylinder. I know moon clips play a big part in that. But damn is he fast. I don't think I can keep the muzzle that still while dry firing.

    Amazing feat, yes. Likely first shot on a cold barrel first time on film, doubtful. Even the mark on the steel isn't where the balloon was. The splatter is probably what took out the balloon. Still, Miculek is THE MAN.

    i believe any accomplished handguner here could hit a balloon at 1000 yards if allowed to walk it out to the target. I feel confident I could even do it with a cast boolit.

    Jerry And the late Bob Munden are America's great shooters. I know I'll caught a little S**t but Elmer was cool too.

    I saw him shoot a balloon at 100 yds with a 2" (really 1-7/8") bbl model 60....this 9mm is beyond anything I have seen....not sure I could have seen that balloon with 62 year old eyes!
    When guns are outlawed only criminals and the government will have them and at that time I will see very little difference in either!

    Here's some up close and personal w/50 AE. The high speed photog is great -- watch Jerry's hands (complete control) -- also "I could clean it up a bit". Gotta love Jerry

    When Jerry is talking and waiving his hands around, notice the size of them.

    Run the ballistics on a 147 gr 9mm at 1000 yds and check out the trajectory. Rain-bow!

    The bullet was travling almost straight down when it hit. It had 150 FEET of drop.

    That is REALLY amazing. Now - how many thousands of shots did he
    do in practice to get that set up?

    Of course, standing with a 1911 back in the mid-80s we were reliably
    hitting an 18" gong at 200 yds. So a larger target at 5 times the range,
    not easy by any means, but clearly Jerry has shown it is not impossible.

    With full moon clips and jacketed bullets, you pretty much CAN throw
    it at the cylinder and it will index and drop in.

    If it was easy, anybody could do it.

    I have met Jerry several times, often enough to where he & his wife know me well enough to remember my name & such! (Kay usually hugs me too!)
    Jerry's hands appear big because he has "thick" fingers,,, but they aren't actually long fingers. His hands wear the calluses of decades of use. And yes,,, he pretty much "throws" a moon clip at the cylinder when he's got the speed turned on.

    I will say that Jerry is multi-talented when it comes to shooting. He has won many multi-gun & 3-gun matches.

    And a nicer guy in the the sport is hard to find!
