failure drill - two to center then assess

This drill was practiced a lot while I was a Marine assigned to Marine Corps Security Force duty. Different weapons were assigned while standing duty on different posts. At the time I was serving, weapons assigned could be a M16A2, a M9 pistol, a HK MP5, or a Mossberg 590 shotgun. The failure to stop drill was practiced mostly with the M9. Sometimes the drill was practiced while stationary, and other times while advancing forward. Sometimes practiced while drawing from the holster and staying stationary or advancing forward. The drill was often changed up to consider different situations. One thing that was a standard for Marine Corps Security Forces guarding nuclear weapons was that no nuclear weapon will ever be compromised by the enemy. That meant that if hostages had been taken, their lives will be considered, but not if it meant a nuclear weapon might be compromised.

One of my favorite drills. I practiced this with a timer during a couple of my recent range trips. The two indoor facilities I frequent allow drawing from holster in certain parts of the range. The "side step" is called "getting off the X" in our training. There is enough room in the lanes to practice this move. Don't forget to "search and assess" after taking care of the "bad guy" just in case he/she has an accomplice. It's a great self defense drill if you're working with limited space. Thanks for sharing.

What I set up for is smaller 3x5 targets as that replicates the heart/aorta box (Handgun Combatives has an excellent target tape onto an IDPA target. If they miss the box the. The 3rd head shot

I also charge it up and if it’s a lone student or just me I have 2 targets set up if it’s a line of students your good but the head shot is done on the target next to them. As the perp is very rarely just standing there ie your gonna have to track it down to hit it.

Just what I add to the mix for the drill.

I'll sometimes use a 3x5 card for contrast (old eyes). 🤓

I ran this cold (first shots of the day), from concealment. Times: 1=1.94s, 2=2.21s, H=3.09s. I'm hoping to get a little quicker. ;)

Simulating a moving target is a great idea. :) The best I could do, in a single lane, is to hang two targets on the carrier. I think I'll try that next time.

Yep. Index cards work well.
