So many here know I like following different trainers standards and COF. Some are relatively easy, some doable, and some extremely difficult. It seems that there are more and more trainers out there giving out coins for passing certain tests or standards. Heck, I heard even Tom Givens is giving out a coin for the Casino drill now. Anyway, during the winter I took a red dot pistol class from Scott Jedlinski of Modern Samurai Project. I took this class about a month after the Gabe White class. Yes, Gabe has some pretty tough standards too that I wrote about in my review of that class. At the time I took the MSP class we ran some of his drills but he didn't have them codified into these Black Belt standards yet. I will be interested to see who gets patches for these. As I see them, they are pretty tough. From his Instagram,
Bill Drill from concealment at 7 yards in 2 seconds or less.
1 shot Alpha from concealment at 7 yards in 1 second or less.
3&2 drill from concealment at 3 yards. 3 hits to Alpha, 2 to 3X5 card on head 2 seconds or less.
1 shot from concealment to Alpha at 25 yards in 1.5 second or less.
As usual there will be a lot of people who say they can meet these standards, but as I have found (as well as others I know, you know who you are) actually performing them on demand in front of a crowd can be another matter entirely.
