I wouldn't go back to something like that (or the OP's idea) ever.

Have you discussed with your local emergency services the need to have such training more available for citizens? I would have to think that they would be in favor of helping sport shooters in this regard.

Agreed. Particularly on this one, it's dumb beyond belief to not have all the information in the first page. Plenty of room for it. While NROI is at it, make the language simpler to understand and eliminate contradictions and redundancies. I think this stage procedure is clearer: On the start signal, from within the fault lines, engage T1-T4 with only one round each from each side of the barricade and through the port. Make a mandatory reload each time that you re-engage T1-T4. You may shoot around the sides of the barricade and through the port in any order.

If your USPSA belt rig is the usual dual belt setup it's definitely a no go If your holster is significantly offset away from the body and/or dropped to where the front strap of the pistol's grip falls below the top of the belt, definitely a no go. Read the rules carefully on this. I shoot IDPA SSP with the same pistol I shoot in USPSA Production. I use a simple kydex OWB pancake holster, my every day CC belt (Ares Gear), and a couple of kydex clip-on mag pouches (same kind I use for CC). Speaking of magazines and pouches, you won't need as many as you do in Production. There's a limit to how many you can have on you anyway and it's a lot fewer than five. At any rate, the course design rules are such that you won't need more than two mags (if shooting ESP or SSP) to complete any stage. I start any stage with three (the most allowed in SSP), two on the belt and one in my front pocket that goes in the gun at make ready.

Don't know...…..guys like that get ignored quickly.

Ben Stoeger has some interesting thoughts in his newest book about shot calling (not relying solely on the sights), sight focus (shoots everything with a target focus), and how an iron-clad index is key to going as fast as you're physically capable of. I recommend you buy it.

In most cases the $50 for some magic part is a waste of money, while in most cases $1000 spent on structured, disciplined practice will pay off in spades. That is, if improving matters to you.

I like using IPSC classic targets for practice and that's how I make them. I got a left over from a match and keep it as a template.

Two weekends ago I watch a cop DQ himself for breaking the 180 during a reload then be a dick about it. Yammering about how his swat training made him reload the way he did and then loudly announcing that since couldn't shoot he was leaving. I don't think he will be missed.........

LOLWTF I meant to post that in a different thread........

You can try all the mickey mouse fixes already listed or you can do the job right (and permanently) in less than 5 minutes.

Stop caring about the outcome.

Said no American ever..........

LOL @ the gimmicks people think they need.......

Just yesterday I stomped on a guy shooting a Shadow 2. I shoot a P-09 with less than $30 of upgraded springs, a $39 FO front sight, and a home-made stipple job.

It's awesome how some people pass anecdotal evidence and opinion as fact

There's nothing subjective about Eric's experience. He can tell when he gets a good grip and when he doesn't. It is objective and observable by looking at his hand position on the gun and by evaluating hits and splits. Nobody can tell him "no brah, you just think you got a bad grip on the gun".

So what do you know.......all the rest of the advice you've been given was the same I told you. LOL

Not subjective at all. I can measure my losses in time and points down from a less than secure draw that occurs if I try to scoop the gun out of the holster. Not to mention the mental distraction of knowing I have a screwed up grip on my pistol for at least until I have to reload (or waste even more time trying to fix it during a transition). Could I learn it? I'm sure I could. Do I want to spend the time and money to do so? Not particularly, since there are other skills I need to master that will net me bigger gains in HF per stage than a draw that happens at most once. Maybe you meant to say "that's individual"? If so, I agree.

That's how I look at it and why I don't do a scoop draw.

A single shot doesn't mean much. What were her splits and where did the second shot go?

Nothing special. None of our states have mag capacity restrictions.

Fixed it for you

If the pistol goes click, range is clear. If the pistol goes bang, shooter gets to try again so it does go click and the goes to Dairy Queen.
