It was also for the DPS Academy. Switching back to the B-27 brought the point-of-aim (POA) to the true center-of-mass (COM) thus reducing the likelihood of rounds going high during a fight. (Palming is more common under stress.)

Interesting.

Also it is interesting that they expect the shots to go high rather than low.

Wasn't Browning's design of the arched mainspring housing on the 1911 and Glock's copy of the arch was to counteract the likelihood of the shot going low?

TX LTC Target

Below is the target that DPS used when I first took the test for my license in 2005.

It is a much better target for teaching people about shot placement for defensive use instead of the current target.

Does anyone have any ideas about how to encourage DPS to go back to this format?

Does anyone know why they changed away from this target?
