Why people wear loose fitting clothes between the gun and the holster is always a mystery to me. I wear a t-shirt, tucked in, and an over shirt that is long enough that I must move it far enough above the gun in order to even see, or get to the holster. Which means the reverse is also true. I must clear the concealment shirt completely, in order to re-holster the gun, so it's a deliberate move to get it up and out of the way. It might be a little slower, but it offers three advantages I can think of:
1) Concealed means concealed.
2) No chance of me putting shirt back in my holster with the gun unless I get completely ate up with a dumbass.
3) I can conceal more things, like a light, extra mags, a bigger gun like a G17 or 1911.
I also believe that people are way too quick back into the holster anyway. Training, or competition, mental scar? I'd rather have the gun out for a second more than necessary if there are threats around, and maybe needing another round.
Still not clear why any match would have you transition from handgun to long gun. If you had an M16, you'd be using an M16 first and for as long as possible. Sounds like a retarded stage, unless I am missing something.
