7yd runs (I may be over-confirming my sights and should speed up, but I like the hits):

Here's the target at the end. Those four "D's" killed me. Bad trigger presses, every one of them.

Equipment used: gun, holster, concealment (if any), USPSA Metric or IDPA target HK P30S V3/TLR-7 in a JMCK AIWB, condition 1 with GG SRS trigger kit installed | Hybrid monster USPSA w/ IDPA A zone
7 yard Times and Hits: 1st run, 2.78 w/ 6A 2nd run, 2.64 w/ 6A
15 yard Times and Hits: 1st run, 5.01 w/ 5A 1C 2nd run, 7.39 w/ 5A 1C and 1 unexpected slide lock reload
25 yard Times and Hits: both runs combined 6.68 + 5.53 = 12.21 w/ 6A 5C 1D
Anything you noticed I don't feel I shot this to my potential, I just wasn't in excellent form today. I shot this just before the GM Test and dear lord no idea what I was doing with my sight picture at the 25, just merrily blasting away it seems. I like this drill, it works sight acquisition at a nice gradient of range and speed and scores easily for progress measurement (I imagine). In contrast, I handled the unexpected slide lock reload well and I'm glad I had the reaction I did.

Shot this and the GM test after teaching a class, really like these drills. Nailing the grip and driving the gun back on target is needed more and more as you move out. Also my draw is super rusty and needs work.
