Really liked the high standard of this qual.

100% required.

Good for you and your .38 to perform at that level, Howard;
Good for the state of CO to require their LEOs to be only but perfect in their shooting skill.

Using a firearm to protect the public is a serious consideration...glad to see such demanding requirements.

Between "planes, trains and automobiles" to getting a sunburned noggin to literally shredding the target at the end, this has to be the best one yet!

Quite the range of challenges, and, even though the target was generous, a 100% hit rate to qualify could put a number of LEOs on edge, I'd think.

Can't wait to see #10 and hear your assessment of which is the best out of the first group!

Awesome work, Howard!

Ha, ha! The 1911 is an old friend that never lets me down. Thank you John Browning wherever you are!

The .38 super is a very accurate round, and in the hands of a "shooter" can't be beat. Nice job Howard, plus an interesting course.

Thank you! I really like the 38 Super. It has ballistics approaching low-end .357 Magnums, but with much more managable recoil in a pistol like the 1911.
