Double Naught Spy,
[So Jerry, if you come to my range, can you help me learn to make the double tap in the 1-1.3 second time in a non-real world gun range experience?]
NO, I can't because I cannot do that myself at the range. I'll just have to do the best I can if I ever find in necessary to use deadly force. I do not have a high confidence that I could do it in the real world in 2.5 seconds without reaction time.
I hope I didn't give the impression that I could do it in 1 second or so, or that it is easy. In fact, I do not believe that 1% could do it from cover in the real world. I leave some room for the Bill Jordans of the world, but they are few and far between.
If my memory serves me correctly, a friend whose son is a federal officer told me that one of the requirements was to draw and fire two shots at 10 yards in 1.5 seconds. Of course he had to hit the target. I found that I could l not do it unless my hand was on the gun. Even then I failed much of the time. My times were more on the order of 1.7 - 1.8 seconds. I guess I am just slow, but I know it, and plan for it.
