Originally developed by David Blinder at Personal Defense Training, this drill requires 50 rounds fired at a series of dots intending to stress various aspects of pistol fundamentals. The drill is intended to be done from the holster, but if your range doesn’t allow you do so then begin with your weapon on the bench/table.
