From concealment, cz 75 sp 01

String 1: 2.36, 0.85, 2.69, 0.47, 0.43, 0.40 = 7.20 - 1H
String 2: 2.19, 0.98, 3.04, 0.36, 0.39, 0.33 = 7.29 clean
String 3: 1.89, 0.58, 3.51, 0.43, 0.32, 0.32 = 7.05 -1H -2B - fumbled reload bad due to extra long shirt, rushed rest of shots and showed in times and misses

total 25.54

First two strings weren't TOO bad, but need to work on reload and draws, and not rushing even if I fumble one thing so the rest doesn't fall apart. Also really liked that the two headshots in string 2 were touching.

[Clobbersaurus]

Here are my lacklustre scores. I had not shot for three weeks, I have not been training from concealment, and I have not training slide lock reloads. It showed.

Starting position: under a knit shirt
Type of holster: JMCK AIWB, Beretta 92D Centurion
Time and hits for string 1: 6.32 +4H = 10.32 (1.99, .87, 2.44, .34, .35, .33)
Time and hits for string 2: 7.55 +2H = 9.55 (2.50, .70, 3.27, .35, .36, .37) - badly fumbled the reload.
Time and hits for string 3: 7.50 clean (1.94, .81, 3.92, .29, .29, .25) During the reload the mag holder came off my belt, I had not attached it properly I guess and I had to use the trigger guard to extract the mag holder from the mag, then insert....ugg.)
Aggregate score: 27.42
Anything you noticed: The FAST easily highlights lack of training on the specific skills that it's made off. Not happy. I'm going to add in one day of training from concealment every week, just so I'm not so damn rusty come fall/no-match time.

CZ75 from concealment

String 1: 3.10, 1.04, 2.56, 0.48, 0.35, 0.29 = 7.82C
String 2: 2.57, 1.07, 2.43, 0.48, 0.47, 0.46 = 7.48 - 1H = 9.48
String 3: 3.82, 0.81, 2.44, 0.36, 0.31, 0.29 = 7.26 C

Tried shooting this clean, and as a result only dropped one shot this time. Even when I really fumbled my draw on the 3rd string I didn't rush it to make a time.
My draws were terrible, need to work on this more in dry and live fire.
Splits on the body need to be more consistent, around 0.30 sec, work on tracking sights and my grip and trigger control.
Reloads improved from last week with the work I did in dry fire, but there is a huge gap between those times and what I performed in live fire. Need to close that gap as well.

Shot this drill for the first time in a few months.

6.77 -0H -0B = 6.77
6.74 -0H -0B = 6.74
7.21 -1H -0B = 9.21

Aggregate: 22.72, 17/18

I was pleased with my first two runs, considering I've basically been dry-fire only for the past two months. A badly fumbled reload and a miss low on the second headshot screwed up my third run.

Shot this with a G19 w/ Defoor Tritium sights, drawing from an Eidolon with a single soft loop and a lower ride (barely enough clearance for a FFG) and using a Ready Tactical CCW OWB pouch, all concealed under a t-shirt. First shot times hovered in the 1.6s range, though I didn't record them. Reloads were characteristically abysmal, though in fairness I haven't worked them much as I've found myself carrying a spare less and less often. Splits on the body were a leisurely .3-.35, as I was really going for guaranteed hits.

[ASH556]

Shot this yesterday for the first real time yesterday meaning cold, concealed, measuring splits and counting penalties. I shot the first 3 strings with my 19 and the second 3 strings with my 17.

Gen 4 Glock 19, Tcap front/Defoor rear, minus connector. Concealed under a polo from a JM V3 IWB strongside, Comp-tac mag carrier (also under polo).
String 1) 1.95, .53, 2.62, .29, .28, .27 = 5.94 - 1H, -2B = 8.94
String 2) 1.97, .40, 2.29, .28, .29, .26 = 5.49 -1H (barely, damn) = 7.49
String 3) 1.94, .43, 2.56, .25, .24, .23 = 5.65 -2H, -1B = 10.65
Aggregate: 27.08

Gen 4 Glock 17 same as above
String 1) 2.19, .88, 2.13, .20, .24, .20 = 5.84 -1H = 7.84
String 2) 2.21, .57, 2.22, .22, .24, .23 = 5.69 -1H, -3B = 10.69
String 3) 2.11, .70, 2.29, .23, .60, .25 = 6.18 -1H, -1B = 9.18
Aggregate: 27.71

Observations:
I'm a long way from a coin! Mechanics are close to fast enough, but accuracy, especially on the head is problematic. Interesting that it was always the 2nd round that was the miss.
