**TIGTA Handgun Basic Qualification Course for .357 SIG Model 229s
(7/01/2002)**

**Target:** Use an IALEFI-Q or FBI-Q.

**Scoring:** Total of 50 rounds for 100 possible points. A hit touching
inside the \"coke-bottle\", or touching the line, is scored as 2 points.
A hit outside the \"coke-bottle\" does not score. Two shots must be in
the target \"head,\" which is defined as the top 6 X 6 inch area of the
target. Deduct 2 points per hit not in the target head, for a maximum
deduction of 4 points. A perfect target has 48 hits in the coke-bottle
and 2 in the head. A 70 percent score is required to qualify.

**Procedure:** Start position is the FLETC \"FI\" stance with hands
hanging naturally at your side. Wear body armor with tactical cover (or
with a raid jacket, suit coat or other suitable garment to conceal your
firearm). The holster retention snap must be snapped and your jacket
must cover the handgun. After firing, **SCAN** left and right of your
target, **DECOCK** and reholster using only one hand and a straight
trigger finger. Snap your holster snap/retention device. This course is
run as a \"hot range.\"

**Fully load your handgun and two additional magazines to start the
course. Start the course with one round in the chamber and 12 rounds in
each of your three magazines.** You will need a total of three magazines
and only 50 rounds to complete the course. Place the 13 extra rounds in
a pocket.

**Note:** If your handgun malfunctions, clear the problem and continue
firing. If you are not able to continue firing, raise your non-shooting
hand to alert the safety officers that you have a problem. No \"alibis\"
for shooter induced problems. Deduct 2 points for each late shot and for
any shot(s) fired out of sequence. Note point deductions on the
qualification record.

**2 yards (Total of 6 rounds)**

Draw and fire two shots using the strong hand without referencing the
sights (Point shooting) in 3 seconds (Do not position your weak hand in
front of your muzzle. Place your weak hand against your chest as you
draw and extend your strong hand toward the target with elbow touching
your torso. This is a handgun retention position.) **Repeat twice.**
\_\_ \_\_ \_\_

**ALWAYS USE THE SIGHTS from 7 to 25 yards. You are responsible for
every round fired.**

**Note:** Two shots must be in the target \"head\" to score. The Range
Officers should observe the targets prior to this stage and mark head
shots if required, then go forward after this stage and mark/circle the
two head shots.

E. (2 rounds) Draw and fire two shots using both hands in 10 seconds.
Perform an emergency reload as required. **\_\_**

**Note:** You are using one hand/arm during the following two stages to
simulate that the other arm/hand is disabled or occupied. Safety
concerns override realistic training; so if your handgun malfunctions
and you are not able to continue firing, raise your non-shooting hand to
alert the safety officers that you have a problem. No \"alibi \" shots,
or make-up shots, for shooter induced problems.

F. (4 rounds) Draw and fire one shot strong hand only in 3 seconds.
