    Pretty cool.
    That must have been like shooting a mortar he was probably aiming 100 yds over the target wind would have been a huge factor with a bullet that is as un-aerodynamic as a 10mm pistol bullet.

    Whoever did the smithing on mounting that scope must have had a real challenge to get it right. Forget minutes of angle he was working with yards of angle. Amazing shot and equipment!. Bob

    Actually it's still measured at the firearm in MOA adjustment via the scope base which is adjustable.
    And with that brace design it's hardly considered to be 'handheld'. Still, it's a magnificent shot although I'd like to hear the total number of shots used to connect once with the target. 

    Here is an example of adjustable bases:
    And another:
    The top has the capability of producing 300 MOA of adjustment!

    Best.

    That is some serious angle of elevation.

    My Uncle, (my Dad's Brother) was a long time Miami Police Detective on the Presidents 100. He came up to rural Extreme NE TN. one time. We were hunting groundhogs at about 3-400 yards with scoped .243's etc.

    He said "Wait a Minute, let me try this one." Had his 1911 on the roof of a vehicle. We were like yeah, sure right. Busted that Ground Hog. Best Pistol shot I have ever seen in person.

    I will bet I could have hit it at three yards, if I could get that close.  :)

    The brace is marketed to police as an accessory that can be deployed, if needed, to aid accuracy.

    Yeah I am aware of that. But for grins and giggles I used Federals ballistic calculator for their 10mm 180fmj load. -1155 moa at 2000 yards, over 24 thousand inches or 666 yards. It was one heck of a shot no matter how you look at it. Bob
