    Never a problem of that happening, in fact, I cut and pasted the course from a publication found on the internet! Didn't have to copy it from the manual!!

    Thought I'd post a pic of one of LAPD's Finest with a 1911. Stainless Steel Colt? This is an old pic I found somewhere online. I don't think recoil control is an issue with this shooter.

    Hi Mike

    Just trying to find at least a broad outline of what the course involves...I'm writing a piece that needs to be (excuse the pun) accurate...!

    Hope you can help

    Cheers

    I just shot our carbine qual with my Colt SP1 with an EOTech XPS2.0. I had trouble with two damaged rounds that wouldn't feed. Other than that, I was 100%. They sped up the course of fire somewhat and the range officer was saying that some of the officers are having trouble passing because of the speed needed. I've been shooting 3 gun this season again, so my comfort level with a carbine is higher than before.

    I'm glad LAPD doesn't run our range, I'd be in trouble and I can shoot better than most around here. LAPD Range Master: "Here's the course of fire, engage 6 targets, fire a Mozambique drill on each in 9 seconds!"
