Shoot it as a test or drill.

8.5x14 paper.
 
I've shot that drill with a Kydex belt holster and a Sig P226 and scored a hair under 8 sec. I was pleased, but concealment or retention rig per the drill would obviously add to my time. I should try it again from concealment.

What makes it tough is being deliberate enough out of the holster to hit the small head shot (while feeling/fighting the need for speed to draw and get the 1st shot downrange) then you gotta shift gears, put the pedal to the floor on the body shots as fast as you can pull the trigger trusting your index.

For only having to burn 6 rounds of ammo...this seems like a great way to train/test multiple skills.
 
Yes, I'm big on efficient training and getting the most out of every string of fire....

Make sure and do a good scan after (always). If you are by yourself in an area that permits it, scan the rear 180 deg. by physically turning around your whole body and looking. I got corrected at Gunsight on the whole keeping the gun forward while performing an owl maneuver looking to the rear. That is a square range training scar, in real life why would you face one way and try to look behind you?

So now, in a square range environment, I scan the front 180 and that's it to avoid building a bad habit. At home dry fire and shooting in the woods, I practice the full 360 scan.

That isnt something I ever do. I understand the principle and the range I use would allow this though. The local training outfit I just started taking classes through does teach the scan.
 
excellent drill and link, thanks. that's similar to what I already do, using my favorite two targets: a paper plate and an index card.
