Back in the days when I was still a working law enforcement officer, I was also one of our firearms instructors. We did pistol qualifications four times a year.
Everyone was armed with their issued Baretta .40 semi-auto's. I stepped up to the firing line with my .44 1860 Colt replica.
"Ready on the right. Ready on the left. Ready on the firing line. Fire!"
I got off 6 shots in the time most everyone else fired 8, but all my shots were solid "center of mass" hits.
However, when the others dropped their empty magazines and reloaded in about 2 seconds, I had to call a time out.
One or two people next to me complained that they couldn't see the targets due to the cloud of powder smoke. I told them that laying down a smokescreen was a new defensive tactic that I was working on.
It was a hoot!
