The article is entitled "What Effective Training Can Look Like With 100 Rounds" from Achilles Heel Tactical. The article begins:
I just got back from San Mateo County, California, where I was training some law enforcement, and one of the sergeants pulled me aside and pointed out a guy walking onto the range. He said, "Watch this, he's just going to mag dump." Sure enough, the guy ran three mags straight through the gun, back to back to back. The sergeant's question was fair: what training value is that guy actually getting?
That's the conversation that led to the following video. If you've got 45 rounds on your belt and you're rotating ammo from duty to training, or you've got 100 rounds and a range day ahead of you, you might as well get something out of it. So I wanted to put together a session of 100 round pistol drills and show what you can actually accomplish with a restricted round count if you train with intent instead of just mag dumping.
The video is embedded in the article, but I've also embedded and linked to it before. The article is the transcript of the video, so it allows you to better review some of the points raised in the video. But here is the gist:
We ended up at 107 rounds across the whole session. Trigger control at speed, 50/50s and doubles, graduation drill at 7, progressive return at 25, two static and two moving in four directions, a movement drill with hit factor scoring, and the DOPE drill to close it out.
These 100 round pistol drills deliver more training value than most cops know what to do with, more than most civilians know where to start, and more than the military is doing on any given range day. It doesn't cost a lot of time or money. If you're willing to be honest about what you're seeing and feeling behind the gun, and do something about it, 100 rounds goes a long way.
