Jerry Charles Miculek Jr. (/ˈmɪtʃəlɛk/ MITCH-ə-lek; born September 7, 1954) is an American professional competition shooter known for his achievements in 3-Gun and speed shooting.[1] He holds five officially sanctioned world records in revolver shooting and over 15 unsanctioned records with firearms ranging from 9mm semi-automatic pistols to the .50 BMG Barrett M107 anti-material rifle.[2] Additional accomplishments include rapid-firing 12 shots (including one quick reload) from a six-shooter in 2.99 seconds, fast-shooting six shots in .98 seconds from a handheld Barrett M107, and a 1000-yard off-hand shot with his 9mm Smith & Wesson revolver.[2]
Miculek is also a gunsmith who tunes and adjusts his own firearms for optimum function. In addition to a channel on YouTube, he has a reality show, Shootout Lane on the Outdoor Channel.[3] Miculek worked as a millwright at Freeport Chemical for 15 years before becoming a professional shooter in 1989. He is married to Kay Clark-Miculek, herself a shooter with national and world titles. His daughter, Lena Miculek-Afentul, is also a shooter with IPSC world titles.

Miculek is endorsed by Smith & Wesson, who named the S&W Model 625JM model for him. In 2014, Smith & Wesson released the Miculek series Smith & Wesson Model 929 9mm revolver, designed in part by Miculek. Mossberg offers Miculek signature series shotguns and a rifle compensator of his design.
Biography and early career
[edit]Born in Freeport, Texas, Miculek was in Texas for three days before moving with his family to southern Louisiana where he lived for the next thirty-seven years. He was the third of five brothers. Miculek was named after his father after being born on his birthday. Miculek worked as a millwright at Freeport Chemical for fifteen years before becoming a professional shooter in 1989. At age 37, Miculek met his future wife, Kay Clark Miculek, another competitive shooter.[citation needed]

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 is slower than the record held by Ed McGivern of 0.45 seconds (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 0.20 of a second, so the actual figure could have been anywhere between 0.25 and 0.65 seconds.[citation needed]
