Meh. I’ve done better.

Oh yeah, that was a daydream I had that ended where all the hot chicks from my high-school (who haven’t aged a day) threw themselves at me after my record-setting run.

So do we call him Master Sevigny now?

Guys, this wasn’t a contest nor was it Dave making any attempt to set a new world record. It was Dave taking a new gun (see below) and shooting the Classifier to gauge himself. If he was trying to set a new record he probably would have tuned up the gun — or at least broken it in it a bit — and he certainly wouldn’t have been using Major power factor ammo.

Dave’s results are about only one thing, and that’s Dave’s ability to shoot the new Gen4 G22. He wasn’t shooting it so he could post the results, he was shooting it so he could see the results for himself. Apparently, he finds the IDPA Classifier a useful way to do that. The fact that he set a personal best was unexpected but obviously something he was happy about.

As for the gun and Dave’s prior Gen4 shooting:

* Dave had shot less than 300 rounds through Gen4 guns (G17 and G22 combined) prior to this range session.
* He picked up this gun, new in box, from Glock the day before he shot the Classifier.
* The only mods to the gun were the sights and the striker spring. While Dave normally polishes some of the trigger parts, he hadn’t even done that yet.
* Dave uses the stock (small, no additional backstrap) grip size on the Gen4.

Ben runs a pretty close Classifier time, for those who want to see what this kind of time looks like, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beF4r_wMtac. I can’t imagine shooting that fast, my personal best is an 87.68 for SSP MA. There’s no way on God’s Green Earth that I could ever shave 30+ seconds off of my time.

Dave is simply amazing!

Too bad there isn’t a video of this floating around. Mighty impressive shooting that’s for sure.

I’m gonna go with “mutant”. You’ll have to get more information from him, like whether or not he happens to spend immoderate amounts of time around a bald guy in a wheelchair and a dude with a funny haircut and cutlery coming out of his fists.

What really impresses me is the speed he must be getting using a weapon with, in my experience anyway, pretty sucky recoil characteristics. His grip has to basically be flawless and his post-shot recoil amelioration techniques have to be exceptionally efficient…and all without getting that stuff ahead of the shot.

Is there a list of the best times somewhere?

I can guarantee that this is no publicity stunt by Glock. In fact, I’d be willing to bet no one in Glock’s marketing department even knows what the IDPA Classifier is or what a “good” score would be.

JW777 — I hadn’t considered mutant. I asked Dave whether he was a robot or an alien and he never answered. Maybe you’ve hit on it?
