At 7 yards he shot 6 shots on a B-27 target (what we would qualify on) and had them all in the 9 ring or better. No barrel, no grip panels.

Then he told us "If I can do that with this, all of you can qualify with what you have!" All of us had a complete gun with a barrel and grips. We all qualified.
