There are many classics from which to choose.
But what is one to do when a weapon as unique as the Hellcat comes out?
You create a new one.
Clay packed the Hellcat and a spare mag for the drill with theexcellent Crossbreed Reckoning holster.
However, the El Guapo is still based on time tested techniques and established CCW training drills.
The Hellcat carries small but shoots and acts like a much bigger gun in your hands.
Modify an existing CCW drill to create a new one tailored to your needs.
Along with the Crossbreed holster, Clay also used Federal Syntech ammo in the El Guapo drill.
The result is the El Guapo: a CCW shooting drill based on the classic El Presidente.
[Be sure to read Paul Carlsons article on safelyloading a gun.]
It covers just about every skill you would need for self-defense.
The Hellcat’s amazing capacity makes it capable of performing more like a full-size pistol than a micro-sized compact.
For the El Guapo drill, I merely turned the target count up to six.
Yep, I doubled the number of targets.
Why the El Guapo?
This is how the targets should be arranged for the El Guapo shooting drill.
Just through practice, your subconscious starts to recognize when the gun is getting light.
I rarely, if ever, drop a magazine with more than one round in it.
Most of the time, it is empty, and the last round is still in the chamber.
And I havent been surprised by slide lock in a very long time.
Train that brain away from reloading every six or eight shots because now you dont have to.
In a street fight, reloads cost time.
This is a fact none of us can get around.
Do the same with targets 3-6.
Then arrange each pair to be 1 yard apart from each other.
To start the drill, load a pistol with not less than 12 rounds total.
The shooter begins facing away from the targets with the loaded gun holstered and covered by any concealment garment.
At the buzzer, the shooter will turn and face the targets.
In any order, the shooter will engage each target with two rounds into center mass.
The total course of fire is 24 rounds.
Shooters should push themselves to become faster without sacrificing accuracy.
