Yay for now having the internet at the range.
36 C at the club, threw on jacket. No problem with this drill at all. Even on the bad draws with a shitty jacket it was a none issue time wise or accuracy wise. Plenty if time actually.

I meant very few people could pull it off with an Airweight snub. Snub .38s were the original challenge. It's probably not that hard with a service pistol, especially for people who practice. Practice is, of course, a commodity not as common among most gunowners as it is on this forum. Funny how having standards higher than "ballistic masturbation" can motivate us.
If it's not challenging enough, you can up the ante by doing it strong hand only.

Didn't have a holster for my jframe. So did low ready instead. Set Par for 3.5. First attempt was first shot out then next 5 were clean. That was fun.

If Headhunter is doing consistent sub-five second runs with an airweight J frame, it seems to me that 3-3.5 seconds would be more on par for a service pistol.

Edit to add: Of course that takes away the cool name of the drill...
Men freely believe that which they desire.

Next level of difficulty: change the target to a 3x5 card.
I'll give this a whirl at the NRA Range on Friday night for grins.
I'll check this out next time I hit the range.
It might make for some interesting data to compare performance on the drill with a service weapon to a snub. Frequently folks who bother to carry come down more on the "easily carried" side of the spectrum rather than the "easy to shoot well" side, and opine that it's all OK because "shot placement" matters more than anything else. This would be a good drill to quantify just how much more difficult putting bullets on target with a smaller gun actually is for many.
I'd like to get to the range this weekend and give it a go with a few different handguns.
