What it comes down to is a second is really a pretty long time. Two
seconds is twice as long. back in the 90's I shot pistols in
competition. IPSC to be exact. One of the standard exercises was
called El Presidente. 3 targets at 30 feet. The drill was to draw,
fire two rounds on each target, reload and fire two on each target.
The going time was around 6 seconds for the drill. The really fast
guys were getting close to 5 and may well have beat 5 by now.

Whatta ya know! I shot with the SWPL back in the 70's. Armond
Swenson was my Godfather (literally, my dad worked with him at a yacht
company when I was born) and I still have the 1911 he built for me.

5 seconds has been beat. By a bunch

Mecalek 9 (I know I spelled that wrong) lived not far from me and he is fast
but when he was really going for speed he wasn't as accurate as he was in
normal competition. What was funny was he would load faster some times on
the "load & make ready" command than he did during the run.

The 5 seconds had been beat when I was shooting and I even got close once
but is wasn't all "A's" and it wasn't during a match. I am curious what the
best score in the USPSA classifier database is now.
