Dicken Drill:
40 Yards.
15 second par time.
10 rounds loaded in the magazine.
Supported or Unsupported
Must score 8/10 rounds, D-Zone or better.
My thinking is one should have shot at 40/50 yds. all along.
Not as a “total focus” for your range session, but at least running a bare bones “distance” stage every time.
A little bit of familiarity with sight picture/trigger control at 40/50 yds. takes a lot of the stress out of shooting at that distance. I will say that is usually met with resistance by shooters, at least initially.
We’ve run a couple versions for quite a while; A single USPSA target at 50 yds, 6 rds., 8 seconds from holster, A’s/C’s to score. Or; Three USPSA targets at 40/50 yds, 3 yds. separation, 3 rds each target, 15 seconds from holster, A’s/C’s to score.
Went 10/10 yesterday. Cold. All in the bottle (qual target, we don’t have ipsc’s).
Place holder…
Oh crap… this is PISTOL. I was like… “what fool can’t do this with their carbine??”
Due to range construction, I had to shoot at 50y.
13.21s, draw from appendix holster. 4 Cs, 6 As. Glock 19 Gen 5 with factory Ameriglos.
That’s strong.
To be fair- I shoot this drill a lot without the 8/10 grading criteria. I adopted the “Pat Mac” time penalties for C/D zone hits and typically score paper that way. I also shot at 50y on a paper IPSC vs a silhouette (arguably more difficult with the silhouette at that distance; rounded shapes are harder to align irons on, in my opinion).
Adjusting the time for Cs would give a final time of 17.21s for how I normally shoot.
I don’t even need receipts to know you did it.
That’s whassup.
Will hopefully get to run it today as is - G43 in the pocket with a spare mag.
I’ll vidya it on a D zone IPSC.
Nicccce.
(Reposting from the thread in GD).
Haven’t shot pistol at all since January, so I need to put in more work.
Base model HK VP9 with luminescent sights.
45 Yards. From concealment (appendix). Unsupported. 10 rounds total. Shot cold.
11.89 seconds
(3) A’s, (2) C’s, (5) D’s. All hits on silhouette.

16.42 seconds
8/10 impacts
Two 6rd mags
G43 with Ameriglos
40 yards
I shoot a pretty even amount of 3 yd to 25 yd. Very rarely go out further but this will get me out to do it. My range doesn’t have a 40 yd spot so I have to do 50.
I haven’t shot in several weeks. Pretty guilty about that.
Will do it cold with HK P30SK that’s what I’ve been carry the most lately. Factory lame sights.
What about ammo?
Are we using anything or carry ammo or what?
I took my gun and holster as it sits, a spare mag as I have it ready and went and shot as I was dressed.
Aside from, you know a guy shooting a rifle in my direction or target practicing at a mall, I tried to make it as legit as possible.
I’m glad I know my abilities. Sad that there are people on this forum who wouldn’t have even taken the shot when it’s such an easy one to make.
MY MAN
I would like to see someone do this with a revolver.
Yes, concealed gun & reload.
Not a “race gun”, either.
I can’t but I’m sure someone could. 2.5s draw to first shot, .75s splits, 5s reload. 
I learned a few interesting things:
The mag does not fall out of the G43 if your hand is positioned in such a way to block it - which is very easy to do if you have larger hands. Oddly enough this has never happened before but did today. You’ll see I had to rip the mag out instead of letting it fall.
It’s very time consuming to do a reload with a small magazine out of a loose pocket. Lots of digging and wasted time.
Wish Granted:

With a decent backstop, even if I had less than ideal weapon (Say, my .32 mag LCR) I like think I’d least tried and hauled for cover at the first empty chamber.
Even if a BG isn’t taken down a distraction and / or making him bleed gives him something else to think about. A good hit will start the clock until the end. (Bleeds out)
