As per Skunks request, I've broken out the digital camera again.
What follows are pictures of the 4-count drawstroke as taught by OPS and many other trainers. I shoot from a Mod Iso platform, so the gun meets the support hand on centerline at Count Three. If you are a Weaver shooter, the support hand generally runs over to mate with the gun hand while it stays at the pectoral reference point.
To the best of my knowledge, Louis Awerbuck was the first guy that I'm aware of teaching this drawstroke.
Count One -- A three fingered grip is established on the holstered pistol and the other hand posts flat on the chest at roughly nipple level.
Count Two -- The gun travels up the torso until the pectoral reference point is reached and the wrist is locked. The gun muzzle should be oriented at a slight muzzle downward angle. This is important!!
Count Three -- For Mod Iso, the gunhand tracks across the chest and hands mate on the body centerline forward of the torso. For Weaver shooters, the nongunhand tracks across the chest and hands mate at the pec ref.
Count Four -- Gun is extended to a normal firing platform.
Here are the pics:
