Target Practice
I sent a silhouette target a distance of about seven yards downrange today and tried the one round per second on the nose drill. The idea is to aim for the nasal cavity and squeeze off a round and repeat within a second. I managed to get all 10 rounds in the black. One was a trifle low and came close to giving the target a tracheotomy - it was the only round that missed the headbone.
I used the isosceles stance, shooting right-handed with arms almost fully extended with the long axis of the Glock 30 (Fat Man) in line with the right forearm. I practice this drill in hopes that someday I will be able to get all 10 rounds within a three-inch circle of the nose at seven yards. I have a ways to go, but I’m not discouraged.
UPDATE: Thanks to Liberty Sphere for the Roundup link back to this post.

Good shootin’ Tex!
I practice double tap head shots as much as I can. You never know when your assailant will be wearing a vest

I guess I’m going to have to try double taps. Sometimes when I practice the ‘two to the heart, one to the head’ drill, I double tap the torso shots and put a single one to the noggin.
Thanks for the comment!

Actually, if you think about it, a double tap to the head might be a wasted round and time.
Maybe a single to two different heads would be a good speed drill.
…and you’re welcome.

I just discussed it with the better half and we think it would be fun to send a two-headed target downrange next outing. As an alternative, we might send the perp-hostage target - hell, the hostage never makes it anyhow - at least when I’m shooting.

Use the 12 gauge on the hostage target. No worries
