What distance do you usually practice with when shooting your handguns?

I do most of my shooting at 7 yards personally.

I don't see how the 25 yard pistol guys do it. I can shoot decently at that range with my P99 if I have to, but still not the groups I get at 7 yards. And any other gun at 25 yards, and I am all over the paper.

Those guys are rich and have *HUGE* rooms in their house. I do most of mine between 7 and 15 yards.

I practice at distances from arms length to 25 yards.

I like to practice slow fire at 15 to 25 yards with a hand gun. I'm not saying I'm good at it, but I think it is good practice since you never know if a situation will require a slow well aimed shot further away than you think you will ever have to make.

But I agree that the odds are that if I ever have to bring my carry weapon into play it will be at 3 to 7 yards so I like to practice stress fire at those ranges.

Average: Carry guns 10 yards. 15 or so yards for full size pistols. I practice at all distances though. 25 yards is quite a stretch for a 3" barrel pistol. (At least with me shooting it)

10 yards for me. After 50 feet or so I'm lucky to be hitting the paper.

For my carry gun I use the 10 yd lanes at my range. I'd be just as happy with a 7 yd if they had one, tho. Both of those distances are appropriate.

Up to and including 50 yards. The longer the distance though, the greater patience that is needed. That and practice, practice, practice.

Of course it makes it a little easier with a laser because then its just point, illuminate, and shoot.

The 'range' I use tends to lends it self to 25 yards and greater. I will get frustrated when it takes me 2 trigger pulls to hit a standard clay pigeon. Then I remember I'm doing it at 25 to 30 yards and feel a lot better.

There isn't any indoor range or close range really where I am. But I used to do 7, 10, 15, and 25 when I had access to it. Now I've just gotten used to longer range shots.
