This video is a demonstration of how to shoot the U.S. Army Rifle Qualification Course for the M1911 and M1911A1 dismounted as of 1940 referencing FM 23-35. I am certain the procedure is documented elsewhere for the remainder of the 1911’s service in the military (another 40+ years after 1940) but this is the only field manual I found outlining the course.
You will need at least 45 rounds of ammo, a Type L target at 25 yards, and a second target, preferably a large silhouette, at 15 yards. In the video, I explain the dimensions and how to create the type L target at home. There are time limits for some shots so if you really want to go hard core, a second person with a stop watch to act as a grader would be handy. If you had assistance from a partner you could shoot the course in less than 30 minutes.
I would strongly recommend downloading a copy of FM 23-35 so that you have the reference material in front of you. If you can’t find it at your local library a quick google search will lead you to one.
I am not a qualified gunsmith or expert marksman I’m simply sharing my experiences.
