    G-code Paddle or Comp-Tac Paddle

    I don't own a Comp-Tac holster, so I can only give an opinion on G Code. The thing I really like about their holsters is that you can buy one holster and then buy multiple attachments to change how you carry it. For example, my 1911 holster came with a straight drop paddle. I quickly added a...

    loaning a gun

    Loaning a handgun is not illegal in NC. However, I would only loan one of mine to a friend who was a shooter themselves. - Jon -

    Weak-Hand Safety on the Mag Release?

    It's a valid technique -- the idea being that you never break your grip with your strong hand. When you rotate the weapon an bring it into your body, your weak hand thumb presses the magazine release. With a minimum of practice it is just as fast as other styles of reloading. - Jon -

    Beginning quick draw practice

    I'd like to also suggest heading over to www.selfdefenseforums.com and searching for "Shoulder Holster PSP." It has a lot of relevant info to crossdraw and it's where I've gotten the majority of my thoughts on the subject. SouthNarc, the guy who does the PSPs, is well known and respected at...

    Beginning quick draw practice

    Flagging the thumb is a little more involved. Try this: Take your UNLOADED firearm and hold it against your side, muzzle pointed out. Like you are pointing it at someone, but holding it tight to your body. Keep the gun in this direction and let your thumb come back to your body. It should...

    Beginning quick draw practice

    Makes sense. Personally, when I practice my draw, I go through the whole motions by the numbers. Step 1, stop and assess. Step 2, stop. Step 3, stop. Sep 4, stop. Reholster and repeat. After 10 or so, I begin to combine. 1, stop. 2, stop. 3, then 4. 10 more and I add again. Ex. 1, 2...

    Beginning quick draw practice

    Christopher, Is there a reason in particular that you advocate doing step 1 only, step 2 only, step 3 only, as opposed to step 1, step 1 + 2, etc.? If she needs to remove the gun from the holster to practice anyways, why not go ahead and practice aquiring the grip? Shorts, There is a...
