This is quite simply sick …

And he did it cold.
That is amazing. Full loads, I assume?
That’s cold.
I’m fairly certain he was using the “Team Glock” load that AAA makes, which is a 147gr.
I know he’s done it many times hovering around the 4-second mark with his stock carry gun and ammo (G23 & 165gr Dold Dot), and that was a year ago.
Either way, it is pretty amazing – was curious though.
Very good, he’s not human
I’m fairly certain that if you put standard Blazer or WWB in his gun and he ran the drill ten times, his scores would pretty much be the same average as with the Team Glock load. It makes a difference over the course of hundreds of rounds at a big match, but for a 6-shot drill involving both a draw from concealment and a reload as well as a third of the shots on a fairly small target, it’s just not enough of a factor to matter.
For reference, my best clean run ever was a 3.89 and that was:
[ul][li] not run cold, but rather was within a string of about 10 attempts, many of which were much slower and/or had misses[/li][li] not run from concealment[/li][li] not run from an acceptable retention holster[/ul][/li]
The “modified” score due to the holster would be 4.39, and it still wouldn’t count because there were warm-up runs.
My best legitimate run was a 4.26, and my best witnessed/on-film run was a 4.78.
You also have to keep in mind that I’ve been using this drill for years, whereas Dave had never heard of it before last year and only really sat down to set the record on a lark.
That bastard …
Sweet! Man that is fast. I hadn’t even figured out what was going on and he was done!
OT: I’d like to see his Glock collection 
I cant speak to the circumstances of his birth, but he is clearly a savant.
:eek:
While there is no question that Dave is incredibly gifted, he’s also worked incredibly hard to get where he is. He credits his athleticism on his previous semi-pro hockey playing, and when he first got into competitive shooting he pretty much did nothing but dry fire every night. Someone once told me Dave didn’t even own a television and didn’t need one because he was too busy dry firing all evening long. 
There are gifted shooters and there are hard working shooters, but to get where Dave is both in terms of raw skill and accomplishment you need to have both.

We are in violent agreement. Perhaps I was trying to be too clever.
Or perhaps I simply wasn’t clever enough.
Damn that was fast!
:eek:
i think I can beat that…
if you let me use a G18…
oh, and we’re gonna need a 8.5x11 piece of paper too…
and the reload, we’ll have to get rid of that…
and let me stand closer…
but…G18, notebook paper, closer and no reload and I think i definitely got this…
I’m with him!!! Gotta be a way to handicap this, it is a contest, right?
Buckaroo
I don’t know if a handicapped person could come close to those times.
I don’t see what the big deal is. I can do it in 35.6 seconds any day of the week!
Damn beat my best time by just over a 1.2 seconds.
He’s a professional shooter and I’m 10% sponsored…I’m not doing too bad,
Dave is one hell of a shooter, if you ever get he chance to see him compete…do it.
This guy eats, sleeps, and(well, you get the idea)…with that pistol. Well done Dave. Is that drill strickly for an unsecured pistol draw, or is it considered single retention? I know I’ll never come close to 3.5s with my triple retention duty holster.
