My wife and I entered the USA, intending to stay for 6 months, a vacation. From Canada. In 2004. Living with my Son. This fell through, we actually went through the full immigration process, 3 years for me, 5 for my wife. We are now USA citizens. Once I obtained a Green card, I purchased a Glock 17 4th gen in 9mm.
Entering my first IPSC match with this pistol, in Jacksonville FL Shooting factory ammunition. The start position was hands relaxed at sides, facing 3 standard IPSC targets, at 7 yards. Draw and engage these targets, two rounds on each to score. Then move to cover, and engage a target at 50 yards, that was only showing a 6" band from top to bottom, both sides painted out.
As this 6" only area to count, I fired 4 rounds (2 to count) the young chap patching the targets, called me down to him, standing by this 50-yard target!
4 hits were in the A zone 12 inches below what we call the head area.
2 were touching, one was one inch away, one 3 inches away, all scoring rounds, but of course, only two could count!
His comment "I could not do that with a rifle!" My reply "Neither could I"
That was standing two hands. I was 69 years of age, now 85.
The best group I had ever fired. Fired lots of rounds through that G17, but I carry a G19.
