I just completed a 2 day pistol course from Wayne Dobbs & Darryl Bolke who both are long term veterans of the LE and each have over 20 years of training both civilians and LE in tactics. The Failure drill was emphasized strongly. As Charles said, it was two shots to center mass with a very slight pause, not even a quarter of a second, in that short time frame you are to asses the target and eliminate if still there and if the target had not dropped immediately, a final shot to the head.

Part of Darryl Bolke's job over his course of training LE in tactics, he investigated over 75 shootings officer involved shootings. I believe he said that out of the 75 shootings, 34 utilized the failure drill. (They were trained heavily to do this) Success in stopping the threat, and success in that nobody was charged with using excessive force. They all were ruled a good shoot. This applies to us in the civilian world as you often hear of both LE and individuals tend to have problems when you dump 6,7 or however many more rounds into someone. They teach the failure drill as precision and efficient use of force.
