Pulled two shots low during a transition round. I need to work on that, specifically with speed. I'm confident I can pass at 7 yards, I just need another try or two. Glock 26 is an awesome shooter. Even more so when you get over the whole two finger grip thing.

I have yet to get a pass on one of these, at any distance, with any gun, and if I go a week or more without shooting one, not only does my score get worse, I feel like an addict in need of a hit.
I'll try to get some done today or tomorrow.

I too have never cleaned it. I have cleaned the various strings at one time or another but I always seem to get lazy, anxious, rush, or just plain suck on a shot or two. Unfortunately today was no different.

I shot the first dot too quick and threw the last shot. WTF!! There is no excuse for that, I was just an idiot. Then I dropped 1 on the who string, which is where I usually lose on the drill.
As penance, I made myself do it again after a little break doing other things. I cleaned the first string, as I should. Then the second. Third, fourth, and fifth no problem. I was getting really anxious at this point because the who string is always my worst. I took my time and concentrated and finished clean. Smooth sailing now. A few 1r1 and done. 1st set clean. 2nd set clean. 3rd set mike and mike......F ME! I feel like the guy who missed the game winning shot...and everybody hates him...most of all himself. I'm going back tomorrow. I am going to clean dot torture this week, i'll shoot it every day if I have to.
2nd time

Not much to say, didn't do well. Rushed shots, so just need to shoot within my abilities.

Anything you noticed Still shake a lot on the WHO. I have cleaned it at 5, so went for 6. Must have just lost concentration toward the end. No real excuse for that dropped shot on the reload.

Gun and holster used: M&P 45 midsize; Safariland ALS 6378
Distance: 3 yards
Total score: 45/50
Pass or fail: Fail
Anything you noticed: haven't really shot any drills in a few months but We've had in-service the past few weeks and I had some down time. Dot 8, weak hand shooting, ate my lunch on this drill. I shot this drill the day TLG passed.

Still waiting on holsters to get here so I shot from low ready when I should have drawn
48/50 FAIL
I tried shooting this clean for Todd, I really did. But my second weak hand shot was the one way out to the right. The firing line at my club is 1/4 mile long and I'm pretty sure everyone heard the obscenity I threw after that. I was so pissed I missed the next one too.
Part of me wants to go back tomorrow morning and clean the MF'er out of principle.

Today:
SIG SP2022 9mm, custom leather holster
3 yds
45/50
Failed again.
This is a match to the best score I've had, though, and each dot is cleaner (except 8 & 10, which look about normal for what would be half the dots). And it's much better than last week's dot drill with the 3913 I was carrying that day.
