"Is it possible to shoot this good offhand?"

It is entirely possible. We shoot handguns off-hand (two handed hold) at ranges out to 300-400 yds. regularly. It's just a matter of lots of practice, skill and getting to know the gun.

I've talked with many people who believe that handguns are limited in accuracy to 25yds, or so. Elmer Keith used a SA .45 Colt to break dinner plates at 500yds. It is documented by witness', that he hit a running Mule deer at over 500yds with a .45 Colt.
