It depends on the shooter, the gun, the purpose and the target.
I can hit a hubcap from 100 yards with a .45 auto/pistol and 200 yards with my rem. 308.
Typically in defense situations, 20 feet with a pistol.
For hunting with a rifle, 150 yards.

The Smith And Wesson Model 460 is reported to have a reliable range of 200 yrds. I have seen skilled shooters be able to shoot pistols that don't have a good range beyond ten feet to be able to shoot them at a target 75 yrds away. It actually has more to do with the compentency of the shooter than the firearm.

Max effective range on a point target or an area target? What caliber? what type of round? What type of firearm, pistol, rifle, or GPMG? Length of barrel? alot of variables in your question!
For example:
the average 5.56mm round in an 20" barrell, has a 3600 meter max range with 800 meters on an area target, and 550 meters on a point target. I shoot a custom 12.5" barrel with mk262 ammo, out 600 meters for a point target, and can get to about 900 meters for an area. Just alot of variables to consider..
A .45, in a 5" barrel has a max range of 600 meters, with a max effective range for an area target of just under 200 meters, and 100 meters for a point target.
Wether or not the average shooter can use it to those measurements is not the point, its the fact that the round (can) do that in the right environment.

Handgun: up to 25 yards
M-16: range of 500 to 800 yards
M-107 sniper rifle: range of 1500 to 2000 yards
These are maximum accuracy ranges for skilled shooters, the handgun max range relies strongly on environmental conditions.

In the instance of a pistol, it is meant to be used in a proximity of 20 - 25 feet. Some people can shoot accurately farther, but when the action comes down 20 - 25 feet comes into play.
