Alas, these Federal Air Marshall Pistol Course Qualification standards using the service issued 357 SIG have been relaxed. Word has it that they were discriminatory, as not a single female was capable of completing the above drills. I've not found the NEW qualification standards, but the FAA insists that they remain high. Mile high? Only time will tell.
