27 rounds in 3.7 seconds with a 1911 Pistol

Am Shooting Journal ^ | 4/18/2017 | J Hines

With World Record shooter, Jerry Miculek
If you think having 10 rounds of 9mm in your pistol magzine is enough. Why not have a 27 round mag. The pistol Jerry is using is a 1911 modified for 9mm. Jerry proceeds to show you how long it takes to get all 27 rounds downrange into a steel target.

Within a blink of an eye during the three point seven seconds, Jerry unloads all on steel. Man sounds like music when the lead is hitting the steel, there was like a rhythmn to it. See the full Jerry Miculek 27 rounds in 3.7 seconds footage here.

I only count 15

You should use the ‘banglist’ keyword to (((ping))) the banglist. Never get tired of Jerry.

automatic?

[Envisioning]

automatic?

Nope, semi.

[Reno89519]

Impressive. Wish I could shoot that fast with same accuracy.

[Made In The USA]

No - Jerry Miculek doesn’t shoot automatics, they’re too slow for him. He’s the Chuck Norris of shooting.

[IYAS9YAS]

I can't even say "twenty-seven rounds downrange" in 3.7 seconds. Not before coffee, anyway.

[Syntyr]

Jerry Miculek is illegall in California, NY, New Jersey and Connecticut!

[Sasparilla]

That’s a rate of fire just about
75-100 rpm less than a MP40.

[Roman_War_Criminal]

I can’t even see his trigger finger move - he’s a beast!

[Yo-Yo]

Try watching the video instead of the animated GIF. Here, I've cued it up to the good part for you:

Beat me by thiiiis much! LOL

[StAntKnee]

Nope. That gun was jiggered to be automatic. He never even moves his trigger finger.

[Envisioning]

I can’t even see his trigger finger move - he’s a beast!

The short reset on a 1911 trigger lends itself to rapid fire. You barely have to touch it to set it off.

Many years ago, our gun club had an annual all comers shoot. The previous years winner conducted the events. He was a Texas Ranger and he demonstrated 5 shots from a Remington 870.

To this day I would not believe someone could shoot so rapidly if I had not seen it.

[zeestephen]

Is this like running a 4.2 forty at the NFL Draft Combine in Indianapolis?

[MCF]

It sounded like the old M3 “Grease gun”.
