i don't have a target at hand, but i can say my 111 shoots like a dream. i'll try to get a target together if i get a chance, it may not be soon, it just went sub freezing here. i don't plan to get out anymore than necessary. what yardage would you like?
it just got up to 36 degrees here at 9AM, you hurry up!!
i've had this gun for 8 months, i'm not in a big hurry for anything. and i did ask, what yardage? it is a short barrel, i'll do 7 yards. this is self defense, not long range target. but i am going to wait until it gets a bit warmer outside, at least 40
EDIT: i see you have a rossi, trade rossi pics, here's mine
Man, it MUST be nice to be able to go out and shoot on your own property any time you want. Sure would LOVE to be able to do that. :shooter: I have to go a half hour to shoot.

man, it's heaven. believe it or not, that's one of the reasons i opted for the big acreage plan instead of a huge house on a pissant lot. that and the fact that 2 people didn't need a huge house. that and the fact that i wanted to be out in the country, because i basically hate people. except for Rottie. and you guys. everybody else can kiss ol jony's ass.

10 Yards! I was suprised myself how accurate it was. I have only put 100 rounds thru it so far. I was supposed to go to the range today but it decided to rain here. First rain we have had in months and it has to be on my range day, drats!
I think Rugerman, it you who shots that good, not the gun. I shoot like crap, and what you did at 10yards I do at 7yards. Next time I'll post some pics, but it won't be any time soon going on a trip to NY
don't have access to my targets right now, but the very first time i shot my pt111 or any 9mm for that matter i put a full box of 50 blazer brass 115 gr down range at 10 yards or 30 feet with the following results:
10 ring: 16% of the time
9 ring : 42%
8 ring : 12%
7 ring : 14%
6 ring : 12%
off : 2% or 1 shot
i was proud enough for a first time handgun owner. This was the result of a two-handed hold with no rest. It's gotten a lot better since I've learned how to better hold the pistol. Hope this helps. My gun mentor - an FBI-trained weapons specialist and former S.W.A.T. officer is scheduled to qualify me with my weapon as I carry it at work as a Community Corrections Officer (think probation on steroids). Based on the targets I showed him he was impressed with the pistol. He stated that the holes lined up well along the body target we used - and that I could have probably qualified with the weapon that day. I was proud of how it shot. Hitting center mass almost 60% of the time at 30 feet is good enough for me to carry concealed. Like I said that number has gotten better so I trust my pt111 with my life. Hope you will too.
All I require is hitting COM, at from 7 to 10 yards. I am not a good enough shot with a snubby barreled gun to do much better than that.
I am happy with putting all rds in an 8.5" by 11" area that would be the center of chest.
Now with a gun with a 6 to 9" sight picture, I have been known to take the center out of the target, even if about 1" left of center at even longer distances.
