“How accurate should my weapon be?” is a question I get on a regular basis. Of course, the answer depends on the weapon and the application. For both pistol and a carbine it should be accurate enough to make a headshot at the furthest distance that you can realistically hope to make in the real world. In my opinion that is 25 yds for a pistol and 100 yds for a carbine .
Since my rule of thumb is shooters can only hope to be able to shoot to within 50% of the inherent accuracy of the weapon under conditions of stress then that means both the pistol and carbine need to be capable of 2.5 inch groups. This equates to the ability to hit a 5 inch circle, or the head of a small framed adult hostile at those distances.”
