In IPSC matches, where you're graded on a combination of accuracy and speed, you are shooting at a target as the pistol PASSES BY the target. The pistol never stops moving - it's either recoiling or recovering from recoil almost all the time and you pull the trigger when the sight picture is right and keep on moving. A slow lock time REALLY screws up your timing if you're not used to that gun. Same with silhouette shooting with pistols at 100 meters. You do take careful aim at the targets, but they're small and the pistol waves all over the place, so you try to pull the trigger very slightly ahead of the correct sight picture, anticipating that the gun will go off at the right moment. Again, lock time has to be taken into account, even if it's in your subconcious! And no, you DON'T pull the trigger again! I know you don't believe me about lock times, but until you experience it, you'll never believe it! Let's just get back to PIC subjects and just leave it at that. OK???? Have a good day, Wally!
