Its different from bullseye, where one shoots small circles on paper targets, and different from the competitive shooting sports such as USPSA which have rules.

With my .22 I plinked at some old soup cans for a couple of hours in the middle of the desert, and left with a large grin!

Get the Mak mug.Beretta is the oldest gun company in the world dating back to 1526. With much experience in manufacturing handguns, shotguns, and carbines, Berreta firearms have been adopted worldwide by military and police forces. The most notable adoption of Berreta firearms is the adoption of the 92FS for the U.S. Military in 1985. (and French airforce.) One of the most tested firearms in the world, the 92FS designated M9 by the U.S. Military has a life of over 35,000 rounds. The reliability of this handgun is unsurpassed. The Berreta PM12S and 70/90 AR were adopted by the Italian Military for a while.

Get the Beretta mug.The M9, as designated by the U.S. Military is a Beretta 92FS.
Sidearm of the U.S . Military.
The M9 pistol was tested to the extremes in a competition with other gun companies to replace the existing M1911 pistol serving the U.S. military through both World Wars, Korea, and Vietnam. In 1985, the 92FS was adopted with a capacity of 15 rounds + 1 in the chamber, doubling the capacity of the old 7 + 1 capacity Colts. Though it uses the smaller 9mm round compared to the earlier .45, it has been proven just as effective, plus the 92FS allows for greater accuracy, and far better reliability. The M9 service pistol can sustain more than 35,000 rounds fired, and the 92FS jams less often then almost any other pistol.
The 92FS is designed to operate under the most adverse weather conditions. Easy dissesembly by the turning of a lever allows for field stripping in the heat of battle, as opposed to some of the previous 1911s which sometimes required special tools to open.
The 92FS can fire without a magazine by inserting a round directly into the barrel.

Get the M9 mug.PM/PMM (Pistolet' Makarov)
(Pistolet Makarov Modified)
The Makarov is a handgun developed in 1947 for the new 9x18mm Makarov cartridge. Loosely based on the German Walther PPK, The Soviet Union adopted this pistol for their military to replace the Tokerov Pistols after World War II. Practically all Soviet-Bloc countries were issued the Makarov pistol. The Russia recently replaced the Makarov with the Yarygin PYa.
The Makarov pistol is considered the most affordable reliable handgun at about $180. Though Russia does not manufacture Makarovs anymore, they are still produced in Bulgaria. The 9x18mm cartridge is shorter than the more common 9mm Parabellum (9x19mm Luger) found in the United States. Though some 9mm Parabellum cartrides have been cutshort and used in Makarovs (not recommended), a true 9mm Makarov bullet is closer to 9.2mm than 9mm.
9mm Makarov travels aproximately 1050fps up to 1200
9mm Parabellum travels aproximately 1135fps up to 1300
