Quote HistoryQuoted: Right on! Bold move posting a video.  Please don’t take this the wrong way, I’m only trying to help. You and I suffer for the same problem. You have a lot of unnecessary upper body movement in your draw. Don’t drop your shoulder when drawing your gun and don’t droop/slump your upper body on presentation. Those are hard habits to break. Ask me how I know.  . “Speed through efficiency and technique. Being ahead will always be the fastest.” -Scott Jedlinski Not taken the wrong way at all! I can see what you saw too! It’s amazing what you see when things are reviewed. I’m weird - I dry fire every morning with my coffee. I have for the last 457 days. Over 147 thousand pulls of the trigger. Today, working on unfucking my draw will be part of that! There’s reasons I don’t have problems posting videos. One is that someone notices something, as you did, it can help. Its fun to watch someone fuck up. Plus it just may motivate some other people to get out and shoot! You know. “…look at that old fuck, I can shoot better than him!” I like this drill. It’s isn’t overly ammo intensive and I can see some benefit to it. ETA: Plus doing a video I can’t plug away slowly at 7 yards, post a picture and say, “I’m a Grand Freakin Master!”  I say 7 yards because in nearly every red dot thread someone invariably posts about the “average gunfight being at less than 7 yards” and shooting any further is wasted time and effort. I do know this, if I’m involved in anymore gunplay it’s not going to be average. I’m going to be involved, not some FBI statistic! It won’t be average for me at all! |

That's the driving force behind me recording myself as well . Critiquing bad habits.

I thought I’d get out again today and dig my failure even deeper!
Just for fun… I didn’t hear the next to the last shot hit, but it must have. There was a hit on the target. I’m not sure if it was picked up on the video or not? ETA :Times  Attached File |

I to have a backyard range. Guy was supposed to come over next Monday and improve my backstop. I had a 7.62x39 round go over the bank and scare the neighbor. Not cool. But he called back today and his price quote is twice what I have budgeted. I need to make some more calls. Grrrrrr. |

Shooting and maintaining a modicum of fitness is kind of my thing. So yes, I do have a good time when I shoot! Yeah, maybe I get a little too snarky about others shooting habits. . It’s always disappointing when there’s a thread like this and there’s always the same handful of usual suspects participating. But yet, there’s always claims of “MOA all day”with rifles and sub 2” groups at 25 yards with handguns with very little proof of either. I know I’ll never be a Grand Master or anything like that, but at least I’m out there giving it a shot and trying to improve when most guys my age are more worried about sports ball and remembering to take their meds.

ETA: When I was doing a lot of holster testing for my department and doing a lot of shooting - quite a bit on my own dime, it was the bho years and powders were scarce. You had to use what you could find. I started shooting Alliant, American Select in my 45s. It is a clean burning powder. |

Yeah, I've never used enforcer either but I got 4lbs for $100 so that should keep me in .357 for a while. The 231 is my .38 wadcutter powder but I recently ran out of be-86 which has been my favorite .45 powder. I'm not getting the speed I normally get with 200gr swc but it's still major so I guess it'll be good for practice and competitions. I still have 2 full ammo cans of 200gr swc over be-86@1000fps which is actually whats in my carry guns right now. |

Glad you guys are keeping this thread alive! Ive been swamped with life. Finally getting back into it. Shot a 2 gun match this weekend with my Roland Special. First match it’s seen. Ive been doing lots of dry fire practice lately. Came home after work today and ran a few drills. Here are the results:
1.96 1 miss 1.10 2.76 1.62 miss 1.96 1.22 2.45 1.67 1.97 1 miss 1.42 2.58 1.65  Grip is definitely a major part of my problem. I think I prefer the grip angle of a Glock 17 over the 19. Regardless, I’m not getting a consistent grip on the gun coming out of the holster. This is a major issue I’m seeing. My times are not that bad, but it feels chaotic and out of control many times. I could slow it down a bit and likely get good hits. More practice to follow. I love seeing your results. If anything, if we can inspire others just to try the drill and go out and shoot this thread is worth it!  |

I built another target stand but really need the excavator guy to get here to improve and flatten out my backyard range so things can sit level and safe. Soon. Very soon. |

I really hate to admit that I like the P320s. I really like them though. I prefer the Glock grip angle, but that's just because of what I'm used to. I also had some bad experiences with Sig and I swore them off after my P226. I like the G45, but I think my perfect Glock is a 17. I'd like a G45, but my grip is so high, I ride the slide stop bad. The Gen5 slide stops protrude out more than the Gen1-4s, so I either need to change my grip (which likely won't happen) or keep shooting older Glocks. I do really really like the Gen5 Glocks. I traded my Gen5 G17 for a Gen4 G17 because of that stupid slide stop. I thought about the Kagwerks slide stop or just cutting it down, but I thought it'd be easier to go back to Gen4. Dots certainly show how many reps you've got under your belt. I've seen plenty of guys draw their guns in USPSA or Steel Challenge only to go searching for the dot. They'd do much better with irons for a little while until their reps build their memory. Quoted: I’m glad that you started this thread! I shot 3 gun for years.

It would be fun just to try new drills. I've been following this guy on Youtube . His videos have given me a lot of enthusiasm to shoot more paper and work on reps. It's really amazing to see experts shoot. It gives me something to strive for. I like seeing your shooting videos. Always good to get practice in! Seems like reloading components are becoming more plentiful, so that is very encouraging. |

I also had some bad experiences with Sig and I swore them off after my P226. I like the G45, but I think my perfect Glock is a 17. I'd like a G45, but my grip is so high, I ride the slide stop bad. The Gen5 slide stops protrude out more than the Gen1-4s, so I either need to change my grip (which likely won't happen) or keep shooting older Glocks. I do really really like the Gen5 Glocks. I traded my Gen5 G17 for a Gen4 G17 because of that stupid slide stop. I thought about the Kagwerks slide stop or just cutting it down, but I thought it'd be easier to go back to Gen4. Dots certainly show how many reps you've got under your belt. I've seen plenty of guys draw their guns in USPSA or Steel Challenge only to go searching for the dot. They'd do much better with irons for a little while until their reps build their memory. That's a good idea! It would be fun just to try new drills. I've been following this guy on Youtube . His videos have given me a lot of enthusiasm to shoot more paper and work on reps. It's really amazing to see experts shoot. It gives me something to strive for. I like seeing your shooting videos. Always good to get practice in! Seems like reloading components are becoming more plentiful, so that is very encouraging. I like that youtube channel. Thanks for sharing it! |

Those Black Belt standards are no joke. I have taken the 3 day MSP class twice, both with G19's w/RMR's from AIWB. The first class I passed one standard (3/2), and in the second barely squeeked the 25 yard (but did NOT pass the damn 3/2). In both my classes, I think a couple of folks may have passed 2 of the standards. I would flunk them all right now. I need to get my butt back to the range. My hat is off to those folks who can consistently meet those standards. It is a great class, and I learned a lot both times.

Quote HistoryQuoted: /media/mediaFiles/sharedAlbum/81983B8A-864D-43B1-B501-80222C56F678-89.jpg I’m the only one that shot this weekend? Absolutely not! I shot a 2gun match. Didn’t try the standards again though. Been focusing on dry firing the 25yard 1.5second drill. It’s tough, but with a quick enough draw, seems like it’s totally doable with a good grip ETA: I managed to come in 5th out of 51 shooters. I’m pretty sure no one else ran a red dot on their rifle or a weapon light hahaha… gamers |

I was out again today.
In the rain. Times sucked. My one batch of powder coated bullets caused some feeding issues. It was a new powder coating and it took a little bit to adjust the thickness. I’ll plunk test my ammo the next time before doing this! Yeah, I just realized I didn’t have my shooting glasses on…..WTF? I know….  Part 2 ETA: Times  Attached File |

Planning on it tomorrow.
I'm hoping the paper side of the pistol section of my range is not filled with people slowing me down or shooting while I'm running the timer. Last time I went out, a bunch of 3%'ers took up the entire paper pistol range and part of the steel range. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Great shooting man! You smoked that 3x2 drill. To get those times clean is very good! Thanks! Honestly, I think 3 yards is way too close for drills other than dot torture. The 3"x5" card is huge that close. I guess it helps I train at 10 and 25 yards lol. Edit: I love shooting Mozambiques, so it was an easy transition for me. I normally practice Mozambiques at 15 yards. Cleaning time.  Attached File |
