A few years ago in a class Hackathorn said he felt the RTF2s were the best guns Glock ever made. FWIW.

Equipment used: Gen4 G19, concealed in a Keeper under a polo shirt. Blazer Brass 9mm, 124 grain ammo.
Target used: Paper with red-sharpie 2" circle
Number of shots fired from 25 yard line (note any positional shooting), number of shots fired from 10 yard line (note any positional shooting): 2 + 8 shots @ 25 yards (standing, slight lean w/ left shoulder on Jeep). No shots @ 10 yards.
Total number of shots fired to make one hit: 2
Total time to make one hit: 10.28
Observations: Did this indoors almost a week ago during league night. It took five or six shots at 25 yards to hit a tennis ball of duct tape, it wasn't worth remembering the time!
First try this afternoon was a lesson in the affect of angled sunlight. Facing the sun at an angle, wearing sunglasses -- The groups were high and left by ~2", and not as tight as the subsequent run with light from the back. Figuring the sunlight angle was playing tricks on my eyes and sights, I drove a short distance to another shooting area with the sun at my back. Now I had a pretty tight (for me) ten shot group. After the hit on the second shot, 8 more shots to make a total of ten and check the 25 yard POA/POI. Side note: Both of my Glock 19's shoot about 1.25" high at 25 yards using standard Glock night sights (6.5mm rear).
The terrain wasn't good for actual running, so not much heart/breathing rate increase before starting the timer. However, the big take-away was the affect of light angled toward my eyes. I wanted to go back and experiment with how to use the sights better with light angled toward me, but no time.
Equipment: Wilson cqb commander, sparks ex rso, polo
Target: Starbucks tall latte cup small end on
Result: 4.32 seconds, 2 rounds.
Observations: I saw the dirt signature on the first round. I Imagine that if I had been looking at my sights instead, I might've made the shot on the first round.

Equipment used: Smith & Wesson M&P 9mm Compact, JMCK AIWB holster
Target used: tennis ball
Number of shots fired from 25 yard line (note any positional shooting), 4 (standing) number of shots fired from 10 yard line (note any positional shooting) None
Total number of shots to make one hit: 4
Total time to make one hit: 32.80 Sec.* (first shot was at 21.22 sec.) *see below
Observations:
Shot this on Sunday. I kind of changed the rules on myself and started the timer before the run and used the total time of the run and the shooting for my time. Took some video as well.
First off, I made a mistake when I paced this off, and afterwards found out that I set the target out at about 28 yards instead of 25.
Watching the video afterwards I noticed some things.
First observation: I run like a fat kid chasing the ice cream truck - running is really not my forte, and it shows. I really should incorporate more running into my fitness regimen.
Next, it appears as though I just barely hit the tennis ball on my first shot. On the video you can see it start to spin on my first shot, but of course I could not notice that from the firing line.
One neat thing I noticed on the video that I'm not sure you can see on the Youtube video is the bullets in flight. I guess the light was just right that day and if you look closely you can just make out a copper streak as the bullets pass by the tennis ball.
Equipment used: Ran Glock 34 3x and a Glock 23 w/9mm conversion 2x, Safariland ALS holster and wearing a vest
Target used: tennis ball
Number of shots fired from 25 yard line: Ran a total of 5 times, first 4 times shot 8 to 10 rounds each time before calling the run a fail. Last run was 4 rounds and a solid hit at 10.29 seconds.
Total number of shots fired to make one hit: Total for the 5 runs would be 42 or 4 if only the last run is considered
Total time to make one hit: 10.29 seconds for the successful run
Observations: anything you noticed: My skills since retiring are ridiculously deteriorated. The fact I have done next to nothing since April does not help. Being able and motivated to practice live fire whenever one desires is a definite plus.
Ran this a couple of different ways
First run
Equipment usedGlock 34 w/ JMACK AIWB
Target tennis ball on top of 50 Gallon plastic drum
Total number of shots fired at 25 yard line1
Total number of shots fired to make a hit1
Total time to make one hit 16.33 (This includes the time for the sprint)
Observations this was a great run for me every thing just fell into place, I should have packed up and went home.
B]Second run[/B]
Equipment usedGlock 34 w/ JMACK AIWB
Target tennis ball on top of 50 Gallon plastic drum
Total number of shots fired at 25 yard line3
Total number of shots fired to make a hit3
Total time to make one hit 17.14 (This did not include the time for the sprint)
Observations Not bad but it was slower than my fist run that included the sprint.
B]Third run[/B]
Equipment usedBeretta M-9 Commercial
Target tennis ball on top of 50 Gallon plastic drum
Total number of shots fired at 25 yard line3
Total number of shots fired to make a hit3
Total time to make one hit 24.69 (This includes the time for the sprint)
Observations I just had to try this with the old trusty M-9 not as fast as with the Glock but still got it done in under 5 rounds.
Overall I really liked this drill it forced you to concentrate on that front sight after you got your heart rate up!
