Let's talk about a five count draw scheme as specific to a cover garment or garments. Given the increasing popularity of CCW and within this group, the popularity and practically or requirement of utilizing cover garments, I think it's time we gave the issue of 'clearing the garment' it's own count which will add one more count to a typical four count strong side scheme.
Count one will be 'clearing the garment'. Count two will be establishing grip.
Why even give it a thought? Why, because clearing the garment should not be incidental to establishing grip. We can't establish grip until we have cleared the garment. Giving count one to establishing grip trivializes the importance of clearing the garment and trivialization can lead to complacence and complacence can lead to sloppiness and you might never get a grip.
What do you think? Am I barking up an empty tree?
