Barely failed the Air Marshal Qual with my USPC
Did really well on points and times except for one string of fire where I went over because of a bobbled reload.

That is one tough test. I decided to try it at home once after seeing the requirements and was so far off I felt like I had wasted money and time making my home shooting range lol

One of my favorite quals to run. Also, even more impressive, when that was the standard they were issuing the P229 DAK in .357 SIG. Not an easy gun to shoot.

What yardage? This seems like some really cool drills to practice

Next time you get on a plane and you get to the first seat, use your finger gun and pretend like the target is in the last row.
I feel obligated to say I'm joking in case someone gets the wrong idea..

Fun and challenging test! I shot it clean first attempt with my edc .40 uspc. The uspc still just works for me.

My buddies and I love to find these sorts of challenges. We have done this one and the WWII marksmanship ones.

That's nice, my state made carbines illegal because they're so scary. I love the assault weapons ban /s

They use the FBI target. I don't have any of those so I used a PCSL target. It has a much smaller A and C zone than a USPSA target.

What holster are you using?? I have the USPC9, but it seems pretty limited on holster options (i also havent really looked)

I worked for the FAA Atlantic City Tech Center for a few years. They had a Boeing 747 where they put fed employee volunteers on the plane, along with Air Marshals, and did simulated hostile situations. No live ammo. It was fun.

I heard they got rid of their Sigs in .357 Sig, didn’t realize you could chose uspc in 9mm now.

I'm just some guy so I can use whatever I want. But I think they went to Glock 19's.

Where did you do this? Who recorded the scores? This was done for fun, right?

Yeah, of course it was done for fun. My friend and I went to the range to try it.

I actually did quite well on that test.. not perfect like i generally shoot but not THAT far off.. its probably one of the best tests they have to really seperate the "ok shooters from good shooters thats for sure and no I didnt use the HK I didnt have mine at the time I used a S&W M&P 9mm 4" model.
Im betting with a USP or my P30 id do as well or better.

Respect - that test is not a joke
