Jerry Miculek

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jerry Miculek (pronounced MITCH-uh-lek, although many pronounce it MIK-a-lik) is a speed shooter and competition shooting instructor, experienced in nearly every type of firearm made. He is renowned as one of the fastest revolver shooters in the world, emptying a five-shot revolver in 0.57 seconds in a group the size of a playing card. Miculek currently holds five world records in exhibition revolver shooting. He is married to Kay Clark Miculek, herself an accomplished shooter, holding numerous national and world titles.

In addition, Miculek is an experienced gunsmith who tunes and adjusts his own revolvers for optimum function.

He is endorsed by Smith & Wesson, who created the S&W Model 625JM model in honor of him.

An avid shooter, Jerry holds numerous national and world shooting titles:

Five time USPSA 3-Gun National Championship
Four time 2nd Chance Bowling Pin Champion
1997 American Handgunner World Shoot-Off Champion (The only person ever to win this title with a revolver.)
Fourteen time International Revolver Champion
Member of five time winning pro team at the Sportsmans Team Challenge
Three time Masters International Long Gun Champion
Three time USPSA National Revolver Champion
Two time IPSC World Revolver Champion

Task	Firearm(s) Used	Time (sec)	Date	Notes
Fire six shots (each) from 10 different .38 caliber revolvers	S&W Model 64 revolvers (10)	17.12	September 25, 2003	Broke Ed McGivern's record of 25 seconds.
Fire six shots, reload, fire six shots from 1 revolver	S&W Model 625 revolver	2.99	September 11, 1999
Fire eight shots from a revolver on a single target	S&W Model 627 V-Comp revolver	1.00	September 11, 1999
Fire eight shots from a revolver on four targets (2 hits each target)	S&W Model 627 V-Comp revolver	1.06	September 11, 1999

Miculek also demonstrated the ability to fire five shots from a revolver on target with a S&W Model 64 ported barrel revolver in 0.57 seconds on September 25, 2003. This nearly matches the record held by Ed McGivern of 0.45 sec (first shot on 9/13/1932, reproduced 4 times on 12/8/1932). Originally recorded as "two-fifths of a second", the resolution of the timing equipment in 1932 was only 1/20th of a second, so the actual figure could have been anywhere between 0.40 and 0.50 seconds..
