Re: CZ subgun: 250 meters effective range for 9X19?
The drop of 9mm at 300 meters is listed at 68″, so it must be somewhere around 5 feet at 250. My guess is that the velocity has fallen off from around 1600 at the muzzle (with the hottest ammo and a 9″ barrel) to around 800-1000 fps.
Not exactly a one-shot killer, you’d have to get a lot of them on a baddie to bring him down for good.
250 yards is not what subguns are for, and CZ, having been in the gun biz for a long time, ought to know this by now.

The “downsizer” doesn’t look like it’s chambered for a “reduction in force.”
