It depends on the handgun. Some are not good for much beyond arm's length. Of the pistols I have fired, the one with the longest range was a Smith & Wesson .38 revolver. Can't remember the model, but it was accurate to at least 200 yards, very good for a handgun. I have seen target pistols with adjustable sights which can certainly do better, but some of these are practical for nothing except target shooting. For an automatic handgun, 60 to 100 yards is probably the maximum practical range in the hands of someone who is skilled with it.
