Not bad for a gamer...
And note that his ejection patterns are not identical from that Beretta either. ;)
Quite impressive!
That's smokin fast, but it looks like a 4x6 for the head instead of the required 3x5.
Huh, you're right. I have a hard time believing those still wouldn't be in though.
Another good example of why YouTube vids aren't eligible for coins, official records, etc. I don't believe anyone would set it up wrong purposely, but there are so many little things that need to be right to be official.
Or perhaps a 4x6 is what makes it the IDPA FAST Drill. :cool:
edited to add: Before anyone flips out, I know Stoeger didn't intend the video to be "official" either.
Ok it turns out all I have are 4 by 6 index cards laying around my house.
Solution: Fold the card in half and re run this drill next week.
I am a FAST noob so cut me a break.
Fold it in half so it's 2x6, not 4x3.
Could just cut an inch off each side. :D

Mr. Stoeger,
You could also just print out the standard FAST drill target on some legal size paper: http://pistol-training.com/wp-conten...ast-target.pdf
With a smaller card my money says Ben can't do this in under 3 seconds.
PROVE ME WRONG, BEN!
Honestly, I find the noticeable stutter between rounds 2 and 3 on the 8" interesting. Makes me curious about the impact of training for two shots on a target from competitive shooting. It's not present on the second two strings.
Hahaha, I love how a little trigger freeze on an amazing run is equated to shooting 2 on targets during competitions.
Ben, if you would share, what is your time on 10 and 15 yard Bill Drills? I know it is a little off topic from the OP. I shot my first major match yesterday and everything 10 and in and 18-25 I did very well, I really need to improve my mid range shooting/splits and changing gears.
When I first started shooting FASTs I often did shoot the 4 in two pairs out of years of habituation.
Damn that's FAST!
I can give you the times I can run at various distances.
At the longer ranges if anything goes wrong I tend to drop a lot of points in a hurry.
7 yards 1.7 (Repeatable) 1.6 (pushing) 1.5 (best)
10 yards 1.9 (Repeatable) 1.8 (pushing) 1.7 (best)
15 yards 2.1 (Repeatable) 1.9 (pushing) 1.8 (best)
25 yards 2.8 (Repeatable) 2.4 (pushing) 2.2 (best)
Dam. dudes head shots would have fit anyway.
Ben, I dont know much about raced out 92's, but I know the one Uncle Sam gives me sucks. What are your triggers at? Blazing shooting man.
I think you would not find my gun to be all that raced out.
The trigger on that particular gun is about 4.5lbs single action and 7lbs double action. The gun has not had any trigger work done except a lighter hammer spring and some polishing.
The gun has a fiber front sight and a lighter recoil spring... other than that it is off the shelf.
My understanding is that the firing pin force was a requirement in the original M9 competition and that is why the 92FS/M9 has such a stout main spring. As I recall it was the Smith and Wesson that was disqualified for not having sufficient firing pin force. I would assume it simply convenience for them to give the civilian 92FSs the same mainspring as the M9.
Regardless, as a Beretta shooter myself, all I can do is tip my hat to you for your inspirational shooting skills!
So has anyone figured out yet why folks are calling this the IDPA Fast? I mean where did the IDPA part come from?
Just curious.
that is a 92 Elite II, one of the best 92 versions ever made. Very similar to a standard 92FS except is has a 'G' decocker only, a Brigadier slide and removable front sights, plus some other minor improvements.
It just kills me that Beretta doesn't make 'G' versions anymore. I would like an M9A1-G as the baseline. I'd love to get the 92G-SD and 92G Compact back again as well.
I think Vogel just assumed it was an IDPA thing (or just misspoke when he filmed his video) since everything was from concealment and Sevigny was wearing his IDPA rig when he shot it.
Ben, on the other hand, just did it to be irritating, as he knows better but likes annoying people. :)
Using a 3X5 Stoeger does it in 3.11 and a 4.5 at 15-yards clean!!! He dropped a head at 25 but how many dare to critique a 25-yard attempt?
