Week 87: 2-Second Challenge #3
results may be posted until 11:59pm EST on Friday 29-November-2013.

Range: 5yd
Target: body (8" circle, IPSC A-zone, or 8.5x11 sheet of paper) plus a 3x5 card
Start position: from concealment or a duty/retention holster
Rounds fired: varies

This is the third "What can you do in two seconds?" AMRAP challenge.

Set up your targets at five yards. You will draw from either concealment or a duty/retention holster. If your range does not allow you to draw from a holster, begin from the ready position (gun in whatever condition you normally carry it).

Give yourself a 2-second PAR.

Draw and fire one shot at each target (one on the body, one on the 3x5) within the PAR time.

If you are successful with all hits in time five times in a row, repeat the test but fire two rounds at the body and one at the 3x5, maintaining the 2-second PAR.

If you are successful with all hits within the PAR five times in a row, repeat the test but firing three rounds at the body and one at the 3x5 (keeping the 2s PAR).

As long as you get all hits within PAR five times in a row, keep adding one more shot to the body and try again.

Once you miss or go over PAR, the drill is over.


Please report the following when you post your results in this thread:

• pistol and holster used
• Start position (concealed, duty, or ready).
• Highest number of hits per draw that you successfully scored all hits within PAR time for five successive attempts

SACS/Warren 9mm 1911 in JM Custom Kydex AIWB
Concealed under untucked polo
Success at 4 body / 1 head five times under PAR.

At 5+1 I missed the head on the 3rd run by a small margin. I took a picture because I was sure I'd otherwise be able to ace it at that speed:

Attachment 1924

Then on the 5th run I dropped the last body shot, breaking it while pushing the gun up to the head and hit almost identically in between the two zones.

G19 in Fricke Seraphim AIWB concealed under long sleeve Polo shirt and Northface soft shell.

Success at 3 to body/1 to head (a couple right at 2.0 sec); overtime on each effort of 4 to body/1 to head...

Smith & Wesson M&P 9mm, Blade Tech holster, open front concealment.

I did 5 runs of one shot on each target. All runs were over par, and I only made both hits twice. Best clean run was 2.13. I hit the 8" circle every time, trying to rush the second shot was the problem. Based on the last 3 drills I would say I can't get much done in 2 seconds because my draw is so slow.

M&P9 in a JMCK AIWB
Concealed under polo and open-front coat
1-1 successful, over PAR for all five 2-1 (last run was the closest at 2.01)
