World Records Held
| 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 0.45 seconds.

Famous quotes containing the words world, records and/or held:
“Can a free people restrain crime without sacrificing fundamental liberties and a heritage of compassion?... Let us show that we can temper together those opposite elements of liberty and restraint into one consistent whole. Let us set an example for the world of a law-abiding America glorying in its freedom as well as its respect for law.”
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
“Although crowds gathered once if she but showed her face,
And even old men’s eyes grew dim, this hand alone,
Like some last courtier at a gypsy camping-place
Babbling of fallen majesty, records what’s gone.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“The scientific spirit is of more value than its products, and irrationally held truths may be more harmful than reasoned errors.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
