I tested myself with a failure-to-stop drill and didn't love what I saw

This is not in terms of accuracy but in terms of decision-making time. The moment between "this isn't working" and "transition to a different solution" was longer than it should have been. That's a training problem. I found the gap and now I'm working it.

That’s a good catch, recognizing the delay is half the battle. Tightening that transition timing will pay off fast with focused reps.

That pause is brutal but invaluable. Spotting it means you can fix it before it ever becomes a real problem.

shooting qualification for ccw with a 1911, I had the floor plate of a mag break free.
I not only managed to clear the problem, I still finished that part of qual ahead of the rest.
I'm better off than most in terms of grace under fire

Doing that failure-to-stop drill really shined a light on my hesitation. That little pause I had, right between realizing "this isn't working" and "okay, do something else," it was pretty embarrassing. I'm working on it now with dry fire until it just becomes automatic.

That awkward pause is honest feedback, not failure. Smooth it out and it’ll disappear faster than you think.
