I’ve shot my Glock 26 out to 100m before and one of the things I like about it is that it is a subcompact pistol that shoots like a full-size pistol. Lately, I could say the same thing about the S&W Shield and SIG P365.
But it has me wondering, how small can you go before your pistol is basically a near-contact weapon? It seems these days a lot of the smaller pistols are made with 15yds as “long distance.”
ETA: And by “effective”, I mean able to deliver A or B zone hits on an IPSC silhouette with enough energy to penetrate 12” of ballistics gel at 100m.
