Presentation from the Holster

[orionz06]

This is not shooting for competition. This for a combative application.

What is the difference between shooting a target or targets as fast and accurate as possible with a set of conditions you do not determine and combat?

This can go back in forth all day long. Take a Combat Focus Shooting class. There are instructors all of the US. That's where you are going to get the gist of the whole program, not here on a forum.

So this is just an advertisement then?

[Grant Tactical Training]

Call it what ever you want. But ask yourself can you really learn about the program from one thread or one technique. No, you cannot. So that's why I'm saying take a class. You can't become an expert about something you have limited or no exposure , especially on a forum. That's why I stated, take the course.

Then wouldn't speaking in absolutes also be best left to classes?

Multiple instructors I respect give Rob lots of praise, don't take this as me slamming him or CFS, but none of those guys cite anything as 100% no questions asked the best. Clarification as to how it has been determined this is the best would be nice.

Have you recorded any amount of objective data to compare techniques?

I usually just come out of the holster shooting wildly. By putting a few into the dirt as I raise the muzzle to presentation level, you really let the bad guy know that you mean business...

that would be the cold steel/lynn thompson method:

From all of the training I have done over the years, I have seen many ways of presenting or drawing your handgun from a holster. They were all pretty much the same. It was a choppy step by step method. I never liked this to begin with. The draws always seemed jerky and never seemed really smooth. Some could say I was doing it wrong. That wasn’t it. Because of the motion required and so many reps to get down, it is difficult to have everything
flow together. It required stopping or having a designated spot for your weak hand to grip the gun. I believe this method is an inferior method.

With the help of empirical evidence, we have seen time and time again that people who have trained with a designated spot for their hands to meet are shooting one handed. Subconsciously they are realizing it is more important to get the gun out on the bad guy then stop to get a two handed grip. Because of this, they are shooting one handed. This is mainly seen with the Weaver Stance.

Combat Focus® Shooting’s method, which I am a certified active instructor, is the best method. Here is the method.

1. Grip the gun and beat any retention devices.

2. Pull the gun straight up and out of holster.

3. Orient the gun to the threat.

4. Extend the gun into and parallel with your line of sight and at some point as you are pushing the gun out, establish your grip with your weak hand.

This requires less time, effort, and energy to perform. Starting out it will be a little jerky as you learn the new skill. Only after a few reps, people are able to smooth the presentation out. This makes it the most efficient draw I have seen. I am open to the idea of a better way. If there is a better way, I want to see it and try it out.

Wow cool, OP, do I have to be one of your combat shooting teachers to get the little "registered" symbol on my keyboard?
