This video details the USPSA CM 09-09 'Lightning and Thunder' classifier course of fire, presented by Firepower United. The drill involves three strings of fire at varying distances (75, 45, and 30 feet) with strict time limits (5 seconds per string) and specific shooting requirements, including strong-hand-only shooting and mandatory reloads. It also covers the USPSA scoring system and classification brackets.

This episode of the Practical Pistol Show features Ben Stoeger, Kim, and Matt Hopkins discussing the utility of shooting classifiers in practice, the nuances of sight picture at different distances, and a concerning issue of hand numbness during dry fire. The experts generally agree that practicing classifiers is beneficial for tracking progress and understanding performance benchmarks, though they caution against over-reliance. They delve into how sight picture requirements change based on target distance and presence of no-shoot targets, emphasizing trigger control and grip as paramount for accuracy. A significant portion addresses a listener's hand numbness during extended dry fire, with advice to analyze grip differences between live and dry fire and to seek medical attention if symptoms persist.
