At first glance a most excellent site.. There are lots of sites about guns, not enough about about gun handling.Excaliber wrote: Don't feel bad about those quarter second and half second draws. There are very few people alive who can do that. The posts discussing those times were talking about increments, not total time.
If you can draw, fire, and accurately place two shots in center mass at a target six feet away in 1.5 - 2.0 seconds, you're in the ballpark. With practice, that's very doable, even for those of us considerably over the half century mark.
Here's a short video that might help. Don't be confused about the demonstrator's discussion of a release lever - it applies only to the specific holster he's using.

Re: Carry method?
Practice will help a whole lot. Just remember what the IPDA folks keep preaching Slow is smooth ... smooth is fast. practice unhurried and smoothly. I went to the TexasCHLForum day and the draw class was a huge help in understanding concealed draw and how it works.Oldgringo wrote:I'm with you, Slowdave.
I am fairly vigilant. Y'all have convinced me to carry loaded, cocked and locked and that's no longer a problem.
I'm afraid; however, if I get in a situation where I have to draw my concealed weapon from its holster under my shirt/jacket or out of my pocket, acquire my aggressor target and eliminate him/her in a quarter or half second, I'll be SOL. I just ain't that fast...no more.
