[Mr_White]

To a 3X5 with a just received Gen 4 G35 - 1.74 hit, from concealed under an open wool coat.

New gun fun!

My pick of a GSSF award. I'm not very fond of it so far.

Tell me more. I used my GSSF awards this year for more G43s, but the Gen4 G35 has been floating near the top of my want list for a while - not to shoot Major in USPSA with, but out of thoughts of caliber diversification.

Equipment: STI Edge,Loaded on table
Target 2"
Hit
Time 2.15


Probably could have been faster, but was making sure the sights were on. This is the first time I've done this drill. Will try it again next range trip. Probably from the table again since it's kind of cold here in MN.

First shot missed (so im out )because i had the wrong ammo, went back and swapped ammo out.
Time 2.75
Gun : g26 serpa holster under jacket
1inch hit at 7yards

2 inch dot, a hit barely in 2.95 sec. Feels slower than usual due to poor indexing on draw, and almost missed (circled the shot on sheet)



Top sheet showed additional non-cold reps trying to push draws + draws/transitions speed. Didn't work well going too fast with too many misses... bottom sheet was not for this drill and purely trying to do transitions, not great but way better when watching sights carefully and gripping firmer...

Missed this time at 3.12 sec from AIWB concealed to a 2" dot.

I like the cold drills and will always show up and run something cold dedicated, whether it's this drill, FAST or something else. Can't waste that opportunity since you get one per training session max. Will want to work more on smaller targets in dry fire, esp for when I'm working draws.

Equipment: VP9 with stock night sights, K-Rounds IWB holster at 3:30
Concealment: hoodie
Target: 1" paster
Hit or miss: Hit, but barely
Time: 2.62 seconds



I'm kind of surprised that I hit this one.

The factory night sights on this pistol require a "drive the dot" hold, and the POI is in the lower 1/2 to 1/3 of the dot out to about 50 yards. At 7 yards, the front sight is about 30% wider than the 1" square, so while I take a certain satisfaction in this particular hit, I believe it's what happens when skill and luck show up in equal measure.

Drive the dot is tricky.
