I forgot to bring my good camera, so sorry for the quality. I'll get a better video up when I get a chance. Anyway, this is the pistol qualification for the Federal Air Marshalls. I didn't have the correct targets, so I used IDPA targets and used the "zero" and "down one" scoring zones to approximate the scoring zone on the official target.

There are 3 yards between each target and the center target is 7 yards away. I'm shooting a Glock 19 from a Comp-Tac slide holster and using Blackhawk mag pouches. My concealment vest is a cheap one from somewhere or other.

(No, I am not a Federal Marshall or any other type of law enforcement officer for that matter. I just did this as a challenge.)

Here's the course of fire and time limits:

All shots taken at 7 yards. (No closer under any circumstances)

Course of fire:

1. Draw from concealment and fire one round on target. Run twice. Time for both runs added together cannot exceed 3.30 seconds.

2. From the ready position, fire two shots into the target. Run twice. Time for both runs added together cannot exceed 2.70 seconds.

3. From the ready position, fire six shots into the target. Time between shots cannot exceed .6 seconds, overall time cannot exceed 3.0 seconds.

4. From the ready position, one shot, a speed reload (slide forward on loaded chamber, drop mag, replace mag) and another shot on target. Run twice. Time for both runs added together cannot exceed 6.5 seconds.

5. From the ready position, one shot fired on two targets set 3 yards apart. Run twice. Time for both runs added together cannot exceed 3.30 seconds.

6. Face 180 degrees away from the target. From concealment, turn, draw, and fire one round on each of three targets. Run twice, turning to the left on one run, and to the right on the other run. Time for both runs added together cannot exceed 7.0 seconds.

7. From the ready position, one shot then drop to one knee and execute a reload from slide lock, then one shot on the target. Run twice. Time for both runs added together cannot exceed 8.0 seconds.


Scoring:

Each shot within the white on the pictured target is multiplied by 5 to yield the number of points. Each shot outside the "bottle" or that touches the line is multiplied by 2 to yield the number of points. Anything that misses the shilouette is a miss and gives zero points.

Maximum score of 150 points. 135 points and meeting all time standards required to pass.
