I don't want to make this complicated, but I feel like it will be anyway. I recently switched to using a G23 and G22 (.357 Sig conversions) for Concealed Carry and Home Defense. I've decided to take my handgun self defense skills more seriously, and to train with purpose using just the Glock platform.
Some drills, I can practice with dry fire at home using a shot time. And then confirm on the range. I'm working on this. It's getting better.
But when it comes to multiple quick hits, I find I'm as slow as I've ever been. I tried the Bill Drill multiple times today and shot most of it high (which is not the gun). 6 shots from concealment, at 7 yards onto an 8" target, in 3.5 seconds. I'm just not used to shooting that fast, and I'm having a hard time perceiving what's going on.
It seems to me that I'm not going to get any faster by shooting slowly. I don't know if maybe I need to work on controlled pairs, and speeding up whilst staying on target. Or if I should shoot maybe 5 shots under a given time, and try to refine accuracy as I go.
Any tips, tricks or thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Obviously, this is just one aspect of defensive pistol use, but I'd really like to improve in this area.
