I think you can gain a lot of time by moving your hands faster throughout the draw. That's something you can work on in dry practice, without ammo expenditure. You need to make sure you still get your grip right or it will undermine all the shooting. A breakdown of first shot time and subsequent splits will also help us evaluate things better.
Here are my split times for the bill drills:1.85/.39/.33/.31/..42/.44 = 3.71 -1 Body -.25 for concealment + .25 for a C= 3.71
2.02/ .42/.36/.37/ .33/.29= 3.79 -0 hits -.25 for concealment= 3.54
Those times are really slow to first draw. I know I can do better. I'm still learning to be more comfortable in live fire. That was probably the 5th Bill Drill I have shot in my life. I followed up with a few more (that I didn't video) and was able to get as low as 2.74 with all A's. I wish I had recorded my splits for that one. When I go to live fire, it's difficult for me to transition to "acceptable sight picture" I always want a perfect sight picture.
The shooting itself could be more aggressive too and it sounds to my ear like there is significant time on the table. But that is sort of the equivalent of saying that you should get more skilled at the shooting, so it's sort of a directionless comment.
To make it more specific, three things have to go together to shoot rapidly and accurately:
1. Your grip/stance/platform must stiffly hold the gun in place, which in conjunction with the cyclic action of the gun, will bring it back to the target spot quickly. You don't want to be going with/accentuating the recoil, nor do you want to be consciously muscling the gun back down out of recoil - though as you practice you will develop the subconscious timing to bring it back down out of recoil. Your grip, stance, body weight forward, and the slide snapping forward create a very productive conspiracy to drive the gun back to the target spot with very little conscious effort on your part. Mostly you just need to want to see the sights back on target, and your conspiracy will tend to serve that up to you. It was a little hard for me to see in the video, but the shot you said you jerked looked to me like you either anticipated and shoved the gun down before it fired and needed to be (subconsciously) shoved down, or you were 'trying' to get it out of recoil and overdrove the gun low, instead of 'allowing' the gun to come back to the target spot, again driven by your conspiracy. You may be a better judge on that point and if you think you just jerked the trigger, I believe you.
You are right. I didn't jerk the trigger. I specifically remember shoving the gun low and left before I pulled the trigger. I think it was the 5th shot. But I think you are right, the issue wasn't my trigger pull it was me moving the entire gun in preparation for recoil. After reading through some other threads, I think my timing with "post ignition push" gets off in live fire. My dry fire time is probably 10:1 to live fire, if not more. I'm hoping more live fire will help me with timing issues with recoil.
2. You have be paying attention to the sights, so that you know when sufficient alignment is re-achieved, or better yet, about to be re-achieved, so that you can work the trigger without unnecessary delay.
Ya I definitely need to work on this and learning what an acceptable sight picture is for the given distance.
3. You have to be letting the trigger forward, at least to the reset point (or further), while the gun is in recoil, and be able to run the trigger straight back at full speed, more and more precisely.
I definitely need to improve on this. Pinning the trigger is my nemesis.
As you get better at those things, it will amount to your shooting getting better.
