FBI's new pistol qualification course

[Chasbo00]

This past weekend I attended an instructor course in Maryland to get qualified as a MD state qualified/certified handgun instructor. Part of this course was qualifying on a Practical Police Course (PPC). I felt as though I should have brought a revolver to shoot this antiquated course - the allowed times were way too slow in my opinion and there was too much emphasis on weak hand and distance shooting. Recently, the FBI changed its qualification course to one that I think is much more appropriate. Here is the new FBI course. How would you do shooting it?

I shot the old one for years using a Colt Agent .38 (yes, I'm that old) for qualification. No barricade left, barricade right, point shoulder left, point shoulder right? Wouldn't allow any cross draws. I carried using an upside-down holster so I always had to borrow a paddle holster for the qualifications.
