Doesn't he shoot for FNH?Dave Sevigny does shoot a stock Glock.
Dave Sevigny does shoot a stock Glock.
After it has been blueprinted by master gunsmiths.
But he most certainly does not shoot IDPA with an IWB holster, and never has.
He uses trick race gun leather just like all the other guys use.
you can have your hand on a gun beforehand, but not give away you are armed, or be accused of brandishing a firearm. Under these circumstance the draw can be very fast - and even beat an aggressor's reaction time.
I'd suggest investing in an AirSoft replica of your carry gun and get proficient with it before live fire practice if you are going for this kind of speed. From an external holster I'm pretty happy to hit an 8" steel plate at ten yards about 1 second after the buzzer. I can't break 1 second consistently unless I accept missing the plate. Over 1.5 seconds feels "slow".One guy I've watched on youtube has done .72 second react, draw and aimed shot with a glock 17 from appendix IWB, and a t shirt covering the gun. Looks like something to work towards and aspire to.
Assuming ~5' shoulder height the can will hit the floor in about 0.6 seconds, I believe reacting to a tone is faster that reacting to a light or something you see.In the dark and distant past, I was able to consistantly hold an empty can on the back of my hand at shoulder level, then draw and snap the 6 1/2" Smith 29 before the can hit the floor. I have no idea what that time is (kind of meaningless without a real time), and doesnt include a reaction to a beeper on a regular timer.
I find myself catching things I drop unconciously, usually before they drop a foot. Have no idea if thats a common response.
