Spec Ops Test 6: Transition Drill | Tactical Rifleman
This video demonstrates a "Spec Ops Test 6: Transition Drill," a demanding shooting exercise focused on transitioning from a rifle to a pistol efficiently. The drill requires engaging a target with a rifle from either high or low ready, then immediately transitioning to a pistol for a single shot. Both shots must hit the designated rectangle. The description highlights the independent hand movements, the importance of smoothly stowing the rifle (not just dropping it on the sling), and the precise timing for the strong hand to acquire the pistol while the support hand manages the rifle. A key teaching point emphasizes releasing the strong hand from the rifle before initiating the pistol acquisition to avoid the rifle riding down. The goal is for the support hand to finish stowing the rifle in time to assist the strong hand in presenting the pistol correctly. This drill is presented as a significant challenge for shooters.
