That M9A3 looks like a very reliable and accurate semi-auto. You about shredded that center bull. No reload components for this qual, but with that double-stack magazine (is yours the 17-round version?), reloading wouldn't very often be required in a event. Lots of rounds available at a single load.

BTW, the single miss you had was the last shot taken in that stage. With the other 59/60 POIs definitely in target, it is of no never mind. Excellent shooting. CT would definitely qualify and hire you, Chief! ;)

Looking forward to the next round.

Thank you! I spotted that errant shot when I reviewed the video. I'm still not sure what happened since it looked good when the trigger broke. Oh, well! My M9A3 does have the 17-shot magazines and it is a pleasure to shoot. I still think that's the pistol the Army should have adopted.

I was impressed with your shooting, but the course was another that had generous time limits and reloads outside the time constraints. Otherwise, not too bad, the window and kneeling, shooting from both sides of the "barricade" were a nice touch.

From what I've learned, this course was originally devised back when most officers carried 6-shot revolvers. If you envision a revolver reload after every six shots in the course, the time limits start to make a LITTLE more sense. Still, I think they were a might generous even for wheelgunners.

Thanks for watching,

I liked the course. The window was a nice touch. Generous time for reloading aside, it was a nice course overall. Not too bad for a state wide course.
