hi guys, I'm a rookie shooter and I have a 1965 pp, what grouping should I expect at 25 meters? aka where's the gun error and where's the shooter error

It hasn't been fired since 1966, should I have it checked by an armorer?

Hi Jake,

At 25 meters, I'd think you'd use a rifle

. At around 7meters though, I think you could reasonably expect a 3" grouping.

 

[jake]

you're right! at 25 I could barely see the black circle of the std pistol target

If you are very careful, you should be able to keep all shots on an 8x11 sheet of paper. That is my goal for a small pistol. Notice is said "goal"

Don't sell yourself short on these little guns. They are a lot more accurate than you are giving them credit for. Here are some test targets I shot with a PPK right out of the box, testing it out before buying it. I had never shot this gun before and I was really happy with its accuracy, so I bought it!

I practice with silhouette targets and the shots from my PPK go into the 5 zone out to 75 feet. At 75 feet some go into the 4 zone but very few. This is better than I do with a 9 and a 45.
