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 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.^{[citation needed]}
