Yep, that was my point. Most people will top out at about 25 yards or so with any handgun. But I watched a guy bounce a soda can around at about 200 yards with a 3" .357. So, which is the effective range? I'd still call it the 25 yards even though it is lethal at longer range.

By all accounts Hickock was not only cool under fire, but also one of those people to whom accurate shooting was as natural as taking a leak. His 75 yard shot shows the importance of shot placement.
