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:
“...if you are to gain any great amount of good from the world, you must attain a passive condition of mind. ...it is never to be forgotten that it is the rest of the world and not you that holds the great share of the world’s wealth, and that you must allow yourself to be acted upon by the world, if you would become a sharer in the gain of all the ages to your own infinite advantage.”
—Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)
“In America, the photographer is not simply the person who records the past, but the one who invents it.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“Welcome evermore to gods and men is the self-helping man. For him all doors are flung wide: him all tongues greet, all honors crown, all eyes follow with desire. Our love goes out to him and embraces him, because he did not need it. We solicitously and apologetically caress and celebrate him, because he held on his way and scorned our disapprobation. The gods loved him because men hated him.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
