The 5x5 Drill, originally designed by Gila Hayes, is an excellent short test of a practical level of close-range handgun marksmanship under time pressure.
Start with the gun at ready, loaded with at least 5 rounds, the 5" circle target at 5 yards, and the par time set at 5 seconds. At the start signal, shoot 5 shots to the target. Overtime shots count as misses. Repeat the drill four times, for a total of five runs (25 shots.) Count how many of the 25 possible hits you got under the par time.
Optional: If you prefer, draw from the holster or concealed holster for each string.
