S&W M-39 vs. Iowa LE Qualification Course

[Hrfunk]

Good morning all! Below is a link to this week's installment in my law enforcement challenge video series. In this one I'm taking on a course from the Hawkeye state with my S&W Model 39-2. Check out the video to see how it goes!

Interesting to see IA requirements....moving closer/going after the target. That to me is a more true-to-life incident action an LEO might face.

Your model 39 sure was dependable. Very good video and results. (Also nice to be out of the rain and in the sunshine!).
Thanks.

Thank you! The fair weather gods didn't favor me for long. I was out yesterday trying to record a new qualification video for next week and I had to get off the range due to the arrival of a storm! The wind was blowing so hard I was afraid a tree might fall on me! Sometimes it's dangerous being a youtuber

Nice video and shooting? The advancing on the target and close shooting seem appropriate. I noticed one course of fire was close on the time. Do you think the course be completed with a revolver?

Thanks

I too find the concept of moving closer/going after the target to be very interesting .... on several levels it makes good sense .... well done with your 9 mm ...

Just outstanding, Howard! I don't know what the inspiration was for this series, but it's bound to develop a cult following!

Especially love the ending, where you get to plug your new sponsor and acknowledge your agency partner, not to mention your putting that nice cowboy hat at risk!

And, by virtue of the CHEWY.com backer-board behind your target, it would seem you're a "dog person," too, so there are bonus points for that!

Thanks for sharing!

As always, that depends upon the shooter. I'm making a number of these videos with revolvers just to see if they can still make the cut. So far, I haven't failed a course with a wheelgun yet! The last one I made with my 625 actually resulted in a perfect score on the North Carolina course. Still, some of the courses I'm reviewing may present a challenge for a revolver based on the number of rounds required on a certain stage and the time limits imposed. I think this one is "passable" with a revolver, but I don't know if my score would have been as good.
