Default F.A.S.T test using my S&W PC 1911

Anyone use the F.A.S.T from pistol-training.com? It's a simple but effective test of basic fundamentals. I recently did a vid on it and a few misc drills I like to run:

YouTube - F.A.S.T Test Day - Range Day!

Pretty amazing how even a few months away from that type of shooting (been stuck at static line of indoor range) effects skills.I couldn't break 6 seconds this trip as I did end of the season last year. Blah.

Seeing yourself on vid really helps diagnose. I can see my reload should be higher, closer, and closer to center line, and other things that added up to slow one down. Need to work on smoothing out the draw, getting a better initial grip, and others.


Always something to work on!

I don't have any experience with speed shooting drills but will say I like your pistol. I have had my eyes on one of those for some time. If you can allow the thread drift, what ammunition do you generally use in it for practice? (Lead or jacketed?)

Winchester white box 230g fmj is what I will generally use if I can find it. If not, what ever is in stock, like Remington, etc.
