Re: Drawing From During Firearms Qualification
Without posting everything in Quotes again
I agree with MasterOfNone.
With safety in mind and following DPS guidelines and admin rules I would agree on whatever actual method the Instructor used.
This would have been a more clarifying statement.

Re: Drawing From During Firearms Qualification
I do not disagree with anyone’s statement.
I do think the OP was talking about the CHL course and not the
Instructor course at DPS.
On the line with live rounds Safety is absolutely always first and foremost.
You as a seasoned shooter may see it as being slow or
just slowing down the qualification. If you are new to medium range student you can see it as a stressful rate of speed.
As an instructor it is up to us to decide how the qualification is conducted.
Range rules, number of students, and student experience all can influence this
decision. All conditions being the same, I try to keep the qualification the same each time. This way I control where each student is in the process.
If I allow only one magazine on the line then I don’t have to wonder what is in one student’s weapon as opposed to what is in another student’s magazine or revolver.
This way I control where each student is in the process.
I like to run qualifying as close to DPS as possible. The reason you leave the holster
in the car is they have Blue plastic barrels you put the handgun on after every series
and they can see plainly from a distance if a weapon is fully out of battery
with a quick scan. Of course they will have up to fifty people on the firing line at one time. You may not have access to barrels or a place to lay the weapon when that course of fire is over. In that case a holster comes in handy. Remember that you want all weapons cleared if the student is moving from 3 to 7, 15 yards. If you are moving the target 3 to 7, 15 yards it is easier.
Sorry this post got so long.
I do think holsters, draw and carry options should be discussed in the classroom but have
no place on the range
My point is Instructor type qualification is different than student. The same qualification and still different.
It is “mostly” up to the instructor, with safety in mind, to determine exactly how to run the qualification for his class. With safety in mind and following DPS guidelines I would agree on whatever actual method the Instructor used.
IMHO
