    Gabe White with a carbine. (or, carbine reaction & transition speed test)

    In an effort to work some close range speed stuff using my NX8 incorporating transitions and tight targets (3x5 head) I shot the Gabe White standards with my carbine today. Let's make this a thread about shooting the tests and seeing what kind of benchmarks we can come up with and then making modifications (par times, target size, distance) as it makes sense.

    I shot this from low ready (sights below bottom of target). One thing to be aware of in shooting this is your sight offset.

    Bill 1: 1.55 total (.61 first shot with .18-.21 splits), clean. Turbo
    Bill 2: 1.63 total (.74 first shot with .16-.19 splits), clean. Turbo
    F2S 1: 1.70 total, clean. Turbo
    F2S 2: 1.75 total, clean. Light
    2H 1: 1.48 total, clean. Turbo
    2H 2: 1.37 total, clean. Turbo
    SB1: 2.37 total, clean. Turbo
    SB2: 2.67 total, clean. Light

    I actually shot another set of standards on this same target before I shot these so there are some extra holes. The one on the bottom edge of the circle was from the other exercise:

    I would call it something else. Gabe’s test is all about getting a fast draw with a good grip. The carbine eliminates that.
    Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.

    I think GJM is basically right. I am still intrigued by tests and comparisons like this though. One takeaway for me, is that if you get super good with a pistol, you can deliver hits and time like a skilled shooter with a carbine, at least on the narrow tasks/distances tested.
