Safariland 25
Hand on gun in pocket

26 shots
Total time - 41.13

This was rough. The 130 gr practice ammo i have hurts my wrist unless I'm using a 3 finger grip. The stock grips i used today are better than the vz's i used last time but still aren't pleasant for my already aggravated wrists. It confirms two things - i need more wadcutters for practice and i need to hurry up and get a steel practice gun. I forgot to to take a picture of the first twelve but i did grab a snap of the last fourteen.

1. 3.27 - 1 hit
2. 3.13 - 1 hit
3. 3.79 - 2 hits
4. 3.25 - 1 hit
5. 3.10 - 2 hits
6. 2.99 - 1 hit


Last fourteen

7. 3.23 - 2 hits
8. 2.9 - 1 hit
9. 3.01 - 2 hits
10. 3.15 - 2 hits
11. 3.22 - 2 hits
12. 2.97 - 1 hit
13. 3.12 - 2 hits


Glad that's over!!!

@backtrail540 Looking at your times and knowing what mine were really verifies that only hits matter. Our 26 shot/29 second runs are nearly identical. When you shot slower and made consistent hits you had a better overall time.

My issue was overdriving the recoil management and putting multiple misses JUST under the card. I'm going to shoot it again next range trip. Also might use some steel and shoot a 50 yard version for shits and giggles.

Absolutely. 1-2 mikes is an automatic 2.12-2.75 addition, whereas i could have took an additional tenth or two and saved all that time.

Even if called mikes were allowed to be made up in the string, an additional tenth to do it right is better than the additional split time - which is what all the smart fellas have been preaching forever i reckon.

Very cool. Kevin B has coached me that in his operational experience - the extra tenth to "sink the shot" was the way to go.

10 rds per 3x5.

Anything you noticed:


I did back to back runs of the exercise yesterday clean in 1.87 so I went into today hoping to shoot this under 20 sec. I did not succeed with that goal. My draws were noticeably slower/hitchier today. Not sure what's up with that. Some days you got it, some you don't.

Glad you liked it!

@DocGKR, what do you consider a good time on this? Sub-20?
