After testing this pistol at the shooting range, It can hit a 12 inch square at 11 yards but not much better.

Range Report, 12-12-2014, 0.35 RB, 15gr 777 FFFg, Camo-Patch, 11 yards.
Slight vertical stringing in center of target due to the front sight, with no rear sight. Other hits were trying to find how and where it shot. Really needs rear sight.
