The above target represents the results of a drill that I shot yesterday.  It is a drill that a good friend of mine, who he is a retired federal law enforcement agent, certified federal L E firearms instructor developed.  This drill was designed to test an individual in a more realistic venue.  It's basically a drill to test the handgun skills and efficiency for those civilians who are looking to test and sharpen their proficiency in the use of a handgun.  It is a shame to say but there are totally too many folks out there that think that they are better than they really are.  I am not putting anyone down or scrutinizing anyone but that is a fact!                                       

The drill is called "THE JERSEY DEVIL"!

It should be done drawing from concealment.  I will admit that I did not use a cover garment, but my times were fast enough to compensate for not having one on.  Sorry I did not take any pics of my times so you will just have to believe me.  Below are the requirements for the way the drill is to be completed:

2 magazines 10 rounds in each
B 8 Bullseye Target
All hits in the black
Total possible points 200/160 to pass

1st String
3 yards, 3 rds 3 sec x2

2nd String
5 yards, 4 rds, 5 sec - emergency reload at slide lock

3rd String
7 yards 5 rds in 7 sec

4th String
10 yards, 5 rds in 10 sec

I really like this drill.  It doesn't consume to much ammo, 20 rds, it's done at realistic handgun combat distances and it's a timed drill which increases the stress factor.  

You should shoot this drill cold bore just like you would, if you had to utilize your gun in a Deadly Force Incident. 

My score was a 196 out of a possible 200.  I'll take it for the first time shooting it.  I shot it with a Glock Gen 3 19.  It's the gun in the second pic from my previous post.  I know that in that post I stated that I was no longer carrying that particular gun as my EDC but that doesn't mean that I no longer practice with it. 

Remember the THREE R'S that are effective for training. The drill has to be RELEVANT, REALISTIC and RECENT.
