What are the shooting proficiency requirements to pass the academy?

Was at the range recently and was next to a few people in the police academy and they mentioned they scored pretty decently in their proficiency exam... Do they teach you to shoot with both eyes closed or something? 10-15yards they were lucky to be anywhere in the 9 ring.

They were all using their service handgun which is a glock + red dot so it's not like the guns were new to them.

i havent found any in stock. thanks

Usually shop online, but curious how much stripped lowers run at some of the shops in the northwest part of town? Something similar to an aero precision quality level? Not sure if it’s still cheaper to buy online, pay for shipping and a $25 transfer than it is to just buy from a shop.

I have some suppressor-height Trijicon iron sights I'm looking to install on my mk25. I'd do it myself but don't have the proper punches and experience to not mar up the finish. Looking for a good gunsmith down here who can knock this out for me.

Tried Vanden Berg customs since he's right around the corner and supposedly does good work, but after emailing him 4 weeks ago, he said to send over my availability to come in and he never replied back even after a second reminder email last week. Weird.

Looking for an audiologist to get some custom ear plugs made. Or should I just use one of the commercial kits from some other company?

I have a staccato C2 that isn't optic ready I have for sale. I was wondering is Top gun or Lonestar Defense still the place to go or would you recommend elsewhere? I currently have it listed on Texas gun trade and some facebook groups but they keep offering trades I just want cash. Thanks in advance.
