Scans of three shot groups are presented as comparative representations of what the gun is capable of.
These are aimed shots that were not timed at a distance of 15 yards (45 feet).
Three shot groups are used because of what PHenry said at the first Appleseed I attended: "one shot can be luck,
two shots can be a coincidence, three shots shows some skill."
In keeping with the self-defense theme of the site, the targets were blank sheets of paper.
No reference marks, just shooting to the center of mass.
An unsupported, standing, two hand grip was used for all shots.
Group size is measured as the greatest distance between the center of the holes.
