There are of course many pistol drills out there. There are also several different kinds of transitional skills. I'm beginning to form the idea that drills which include transitions may be preferable in that they can compress training/practice, and maximize the value of ammunition expenditure.
Here's one example using a torso and head target, two mags and 5 rounds:
How important do you think working on transitions is for defensive shooting? What do you include in your training/practice? Is there anything you'd like to include but haven't been able to?
I would like to practice transitioning to a secondary pistol, but don't particularly want to drop my guns on the ground repeatedly to practice it. Maybe I should consider a dump pouch. Not a perfect solution, as I'd have to "drop" the gun with more care, but it could work.

- Draw and fire strong hand only, one shot to torso
- Transition to two hand grip, one shot to torso
- Transition to target's head, one shot and hit slide lock
- Emergency reload
- Two handed grip, one shot to torso
- Transition to head for one shot
