A buddy of mine just sent this to me. It's several years old but may lend to a thread I read earlier about muscle memory/ instinctive shooting. Just thought I would post the link for those who may appreciate it.

My friend said in his email 'man, we really need to practice!' I am sure that more training is not a bad idea but the fact these guys run around with the grip safety taped, the thumb safety off, and it is shoved down the pants; I think my training will avoid this particular drill! :neener:

Having your weak-hand in your pocket (it looked like he pushed the gun up by the barrel using his left) is no way to go through life.

If I ever NEED to draw that fast, I've gotten in way too deep and had very little situational awareness.

Good training for a hitman, bad practice for cc.

This guy isn't playing defense. He's on the offensive team. Different ballgame.

Yup, defensive training can't prepare you to counter this type of ambush/assassination move. All you can do to is try & keep people from getting close enough to deploy.

Learning his move, no holster & taping-down the safeties is useless for civilian SD.
 
Fast draw work can be as safe or as dangerous as the practicioner makes it. That said, I think everybody who carries should work on a SAFE swift accurate first shot from the leather. And the practice should be done using one's normal carry rig and weapon location.
 
That off hand boost is interesting. Hard to stop someone like that.
 
There was a guy at the Miami Gun show that made holsters for the same location that were hidden behind a cellphone holster on the belt. Has anyone seen/used these and know if the same quickness could be accomplished without having to push the gun up by the barrel?
 
I've never read anything positive about those pager pal holsters. I would avoid it. A smart carry holster would most likely fit the bill for something like this though.
 
He was born too late... :neener:

Brownings first .38 and .45 pistols came with no grip or manual safety... :what:

But I don't think JMB recommended cocked but unlocked carry... :eek:
 
He didn't have his hand in his pocket on the 1st draw. The main thing I got out of it is this: he practiced 10 minutes a day. A little practice, done frequently, will over time yield tremendous results. Much better than a long practice 1X month.

Practice 10 mins per day and we would all be amazingly fast after a while (6 mo-1 yr?). Heck, 5 min/day draws and 5 min/day dry fire and we could all be really good for little investment. I need to make that a habit.

Of course you should not practice his unsafe hitman method...:uhoh:
 
Yeah .36 from tucked-in shirt concealment? My goodness. That reminds me of those crazy Chinese acrobats that can toss three teacups balanced on their foot and have them land stacked on their head (whilst riding a unicycle). Practice can do some amazing stuff...
 
I think I saw that video, or excerpts of it, somewhere before -- I didn't remember the speaker's comments, but ain't no way to forget that scary blink-and-you-missed-it draw.
