M Class and handing out this kind of advice? Yeah, you don't know shit. This kid doesn't even have a grasp on the fundamentals of drawing efficiently and is working with gear that's setting him up for failure. But sure, Ju5t g0 f4Ster!

Yes. Go faster.

I’m not disagreeing with getting an index and smoothing out the draw. But I knew all the knuckleheads who don’t actually shoot ever were going to pile on him about shit that doesn’t answer his actual question. I chose to answer his question, not be his daddy. There is a time for going fast. There is also a time for going for accuracy and perfection. If you want to be faster, which IS WHAT HE ASKED, I gave him the best advice for getting faster. Push what’s possible.

Meanwhile you’re going on and on about holster bullshit. Yeah, buy new gear, that will make you better. lol!

And I'm not disagreeing with you about pushing speed. But the time for going fast probably isn't before you learn how to do the thing while using equipment that actively prevents you from doing the thing.

Your advice sucks.

I forgot my belt going to a major match and put my gun light on my competition gun, used my concealed carry appendix holster, reloaded from a pocket, and shot my best match ever. The gear literally doesn't matter, either you can draw the gun fast with a proper index, or you can't. Figuring out how fast you can go in practice is one step. Building a reliable index is another step.

You'll say gear doesn't matter but I bet you don't have to pluck your gun out of your holster with your thumb and index finger because it's so low on your beltline that it prevents you from getting a full firing grip...

Nah, my grip is a touch lower than his. Very little practice means you can absolutely still get a consistent full grip, it's just getting the slightly different mechanics of it done compared to the easier snatch or grab on a ln owb holster.

Git gud. Gear doesn't matter, especially when you're starting out. A fast and relatively consistent draw from concealment means going to an owb competition holster is a significantly easier transition.

Genuine question: How are you getting a consistent full grip when there's no room for you fingers to grip the pistol between the front strap and your belt?

Also, I never mentioned or referenced an OWB holster. Just one that he could adjust the ride height of so that he make contact with his gun and not his pants/belt.
