seems you have range time and know the general rules.
so time to get a timer so you can practice on your own
the timer will also show you how much faster the 1911 is than a stricker fired gun...if you can 'operate' it as it is intended.
break the practice into stages; 40% 2 handed, 30 each strong only and weak only.
practice the draw to low ready ( can be done at home) than at the range practice from low ready to fire/not fire with ammo and multiple targets. when you are comfortable with draw to fire practice deliberate motions -- learn muscle memory and be smooth. no need to push for speed as smooth will become fast on its own.
enjoy

Just download a nice little timer app on my android, should fit the bill nicely, provided for setting a Par time, and calibrating for dry fire. Expect to use that along with yours and a number of others suggestions.
Damn, still gotta find a decent holster for the IDPA shoots. What do y'all think about the Blackhawk series retention type holsters? I currently have one of those for my M&P, and my P229, however my carry holster (P229) is a remora. Currently have been using a soft side OWB slightly padded holster for the M&P for the IDPA shoots just because it seemed faster to draw from. Have found it causes me more time than it saves me, so am planning on going back to the Blackhawk, and disabling the retention capability. I like that it rides higher, and presents the pistol for a better initial grip.
