A challenge for you defensive handgunners...

GC,
A good rule of thumb that might help you distinguish between target shooting and tactical handgun shooting: if you're shooting from a stationary position, you're target shooting. If you're shooting while you're moving or from behind a barrier while exposing only enough of you to return fire (avoiding taking rounds), you're tactically training.
This is a pretty good video:
Search engine, "Law enforcement tactical shooting," for edification.
I wish you the best.

Your input seems doltish when you post a link that completely contradicts what you are trying to say. Maybe you should contact the SIG SAUER Academy and enlighten them with your tactical wisdom. Refer them to the correct search engine for future references and "edifications"

EMP3,
That is very good!!
Some years back,NYPD published SOP 9 which,basically,was a study of 6,000 shootings over a ten year period of time. The results basically were this;
1-all incidents occurred less than 21 feet and with the vast majority 10 feet or less (mostly 3 feet)
2-no reloads were used
3- most,if not all incidents used 2-3 shots
4-and took less than 5 seconds
My experience is three tours in 'Nam and 40 years as an LEO.

What? You are saying that out of 6,000 shootings they all occurred at less than 21 feet? I googled SOP 9 and all those statistics involve LEO shootings. It is a completely different scenario when almost all CCW holders don't open carry.
Yes; all training is good but saying the drill the OP posted is just target shooting? I fear having to shoot an intruder at 3 yards in the low lite hallway of my home, before bounding thru obstacles with my everyday carry gun like I am in Iraq. You are not the only one who has deployed, thus I am sure you appreciate the tactical advantage of carrying concealed.

My local range has metal flip targets and stuff to hide behind. Great for defensive practice. Takes 1 round from my 40 to flip them, but a fast double tap from my 9mm to get them over the top.

The more we shoot with a purpose, the better we gradually become. For me, even as much as I enjoy shooting, life gets busy and I struggle to find time to go grind out some skill drills. It's no different than a diet or exercising, you have to be disciplined enough to set some time aside. Interestingly, when I do go shooting I usually feel more relaxed and refreshed when I'm done. That transcends into other things and is a nice bonus.

Shot the Casino Drill and the FBI Q Course today. Shot the Casino five times and cleaned it three times. The two times I ran over time was because I shot it out of sequence once and got sloppy and had two close misses on another run. Penalties add one second per offense and pushed me over the 21 second par time.
The FBI Qualification went 94% and 93% on the two runs I shot. My son shot 90% twice. Again I was shooting the M&P 2.0 Compact 9mm.
