shooters preference, whatever YOU will most likely be shooting at.
anything past 25yds with a 9mm seems a bit ridiculous for a carry dot. If this is a handgun were talking about, but hey its your gun.
I understand there is a fundamental gain to marksmanship past the 25yd line, but practically speaking refer to this photo.Louisiana LEO have to qualify out to 25 yards. To become a Louisiana LEO Firearms Instructor you have to qualify out to 50 yards.

Makes sense, practice how you fight. If gun fights are happening closer and closer train for that. Sure making beyond 75' hits is good and a true test of marksmanship with the handgun but what's the practical application to that? I don't find one. Most guys cant even get out of their holsters in a reasonable amount of time let alone making a beyond 75' hit off the rip.
Welcome new guy.
I have shot with JBP55 on occasion carry permit renewal that started MANY years ago.
Matter of fact, he made me draw from a holster and bang a target a foot from me. Among other things including shoot weak hand and charging one hand in addition to the standard requirements for a cert. This old dude has a lot of lead down barrels.
Im going predict from your first few posts that you will not be well received here.
Anyway, welcome.
@RussnAttitudeBeing a civilian, 10-12 yds is probably fine. Even at the range, you'll have a hard time proving self defense over murder in court. Only LEO can shoot past that and get away with it realistically
He engaged a threat, who had already shot three people and was actively firing, with a semi automatic rifle at 82 yards away.I practice at Honey Island with the steel plates on the right side. Front sight placement then bang, I just watched body cam from the shooting in Fargo and I can see the need for LEO to also practice at further distances. Ya'll stay safe out there.
