We ran the drill to demonstrate just how quickly 21 feet disappears once someone starts moving.

Obviously a controlled range drill isn't a defensive encounter, but that's part of what makes these useful: they give people something measurable to work with.

For those of you who train this, what do you think is the biggest takeaway: movement, draw speed, reaction time, creating distance, or something else?

Three shots, one target, and a very simple objective. We use drills like this to look at whether the shooter can maintain control and acceptable hits as the cadence increases.

Curious how others here run Triple Tap drills. Same distance every time, or do you vary distance and scoring requirements?

California CCW holders and applicants may want to be aware of Assembly Bill AB 1948.

Effective January 1, 2027, standard California CCW licenses may be issued for up to three years instead of the current two-year term.

A few important points:

Existing permits remain valid until the expiration date printed on the permit.

Current permits will not automatically be extended to three years.

New and renewal applications issued on or after January 1, 2027, may be eligible for the new three-year term, assuming all statutory requirements are met.

Eligibility requirements, background checks, firearms training, and other California CCW requirements remain in effect.

This looks like a helpful change for permit holders, but it does not appear to remove any of the existing application, renewal, or training requirements.

Worth checking with your issuing agency as we get closer to the effective date, since agencies may publish their own implementation guidance.

Solano County just released their new 2026 instructor list for those seeking initial and renewal instruction for Solano County.
