If anyone trying to get on the job is having difficulty with the qual course, or new to shooting, give me a call. I recently worked with a MC poster who was stumbling a bit. We worked for 3 hours about 10 days before qual... and I got word he got a 98 on his re-qual (his co-worker I taught also got a 98)

You running an aftermarket barrel? I just had S&W replace my barrel because it wasn't as accurate as my department issued Glock...then I realized it was probably because I was using plated bullets. ;)
I think the older 9s had barrel issues. iirc, there was a twist rate issue they (ppossibly) resolved?

iI'm running a Storm Lake barrel, but was shooting Perfecta 9mm garbage here. My department M&P 45c is a tack driver with factory barrel, and we shoot berrys plated reloads.

I only post shit to back up what I talk about. I'm really not a 'hey look at me type of person', but you know me offline anyways. I do the media stuff and compete to support my business. I try to practice what I preach.

I think LE firearms standards and training is weak at best. I set the bar high for my guys on my department, and for the people I teach. 25 yards is where I prefer to set accuracy standards for the folks that I teach and train with. Set the bar as high as possible, and then 10 yard targets seem like giant bobble heads. Mediocre competition shooters laugh at the MPTC qual when I show it to them, but I understand why it's the way it is. I bust my ass so that I understand what it takes to develop accuracy and speed under pressure, and then try to translate what it takes for clients. I can't look at myself in the mirror if I don't get people marked improvements. Your life may depend on that skill-set someday, and I take that shit serious.

@Hush Thanks bro.
