Handgun draw practice

[Celt]

The reality is most of us are not active-duty soldiers so if we are carrying a firearm for personal protection it is more than likely a handgun. Being efficient with your draw can make the difference in a life or death situation, so dedicate some time to practice it because it is a perishable skill.

I used to practice in a mirror that way I could also see my natural point of aim too.

Good drill. We run the same drill as well as others during training sessions at my club.

I don't do "drills" anymore per se, but I am constantly drawing and reholstering, multiple times per day, every day. I do it at home, work, bathrooms in particular, and while wearing different clothing, uniforms, holsters, different positions, etc.

I do a lot of draw practice at home. Specially when I am sitting on the bowl. Don't particularly like using a mirror during this practice. Hate to ever have the need to draw in this situation only to realize its not sitting on my hip.

You guys mean to tell me that you don't just draw your piece from your elastic and point it sideways (a.k.a. the perfect aiming method)?

All kidding aside, this is a skill that I sorely need work on myself. Hope to never have to draw my handgun outside of the range, but should the need arise one should know how to do it properly.

I do alot of draw and fire practice at my range.

So do I. And it's even better if I hit the target in quick succession! LOL

Hey guys, this really is such a good topic, if not THE MOST important aspect of armed self defense once the decision has been made to go to guns.

I attended PP2 with MDTS yesterday and Chris opened my eyes to a new technique based on a close fight situation. All my 2 handed reps are out the window as i spent the day doing one handed draws including clearing garments. I just wanted to give some food for thought. Ill do a full review this week from my laptop as its too much writing from my phone.

I have done this drill on the range a few times. I love it. It also makes for a great drill at home with the SIRT.

Until Chris gives you some logical info and you now need 1000 reps of one handed draw practice.

 

[fnfalguy]

Yeah. When he brought that up in class, my muscle memory cringed at the # of reps to break habits.

Oh I've been working on it. The one handed draw is now all I do...

 

[Celt]

I really like the logic behind the one handed draw. Im putting time aside tomorrow to practice.
