Summarize the following:
Pull your support hand in close to your body (touching your stomach is a great place). Your firing hand moves up above your pistol grip and back down on it to get a good firing grip on the gun (while in the holster). Release any retention system you may have. Pull the pistol straight up (for passive-retention holsters, a straight, firm jerk is required), a couple inches from the holster. Rotate your wrist and lower your elbow of your firing arm. This gets the pistol pointed down range at your target. Disengage any safety you have. From this position you are able to shoot a very close target (if necessary). Move your gun forward straight toward the target (sights level). When the gun passes your stomach, move your support hand toward the gun and in front of your firing hand to get a good firing grip on it. Complete the motion, extend firing arm to a good firing position. Keep your support elbow low (straight down is best). This creates "isometric pressure" which controls the muzzle flip and felt recoil of the gun. Pull back to close contact position 3, place your hand on your stomach, safety on, rotate your wrist and raise your elbow, push gun straight down into holster and secure. As mentioned before, a tactical reload before you re-holster is an excellent choice and habit to get into (read this to find out how to do a tactical reload). ) drawing about 500 to 1000 times (no joke — that is about how long it takes for the process to become procedural muscle memory) you will find you can draw extremely fast. Start practicing drawing and shooting a target (if possible).
Position 1: Position 2: Position 3: Position 4: Position 5: Once in the firing position you should be pulling back with your support and while pushing forward with your firing hand. Re-holstering should be done in the exact opposite order. Once you have practiced (perfectly, start slow!
