    MGA: "DAMN, I'M FAST"! Yes SGM, you are. Amazingly how I have increased my own times from your Gunfighter Pistol Course you recently gave our class at Range 35 in Grand View, TX (along with these videos) without a single mention of "front sight focus", and yet I've witnessed your effects on target. Even in our very fast cadence you had us repeat out loud - not knowing when you'd announce "THREAT" putting three to the center target and 2 to the top target ring; being on our front sight by round 3 or4 and vocalizing to our coah/shooting partner would ask us "what did you see as you processed through the exercise". Simply amazing how we would be on target with very effective hits even before getting on the front sight. To me, it was that my grip and "confidence" was without doubt or hesitation. WHOELSE teaches this real world "OH SH$T, WHAT DO I DO NOW?". No, have the confidence to break those shots - where you should know where and WHEN that next round is gonn break. Sorry for this being so long, but that training was PRICELESS. A million thanks SGM (MGA). STAY ALERT, STAY ALIVE! DRAIL TIER ONE PATREON SUPPORTER

    I practice this alot. Acquiring the grip has proved to be the biggest challenge. Especially from concealed, at speed. It throws off my sight alignment, and I have to adjust. But I've been practicing getting my grip first, then drawing. Owb is easer than iwb. U rock Mike, thank u sir.

    Same. Especially from the 430/5 positions (appendix just doesn’t work for me). Clearing the garment to full purchase of a sub compact with a baseball mitt for a hand to alignment and first shot it’s definitely a multi step repetition over and over and over again. The good news is that it will be the fastest thing an attacker has ever seen when/if you ever have to get to work. Stay safe out there 🙏🇺🇸🙏

    I’ve only got 9 acres with my own shooting range it’s nothing special but it is a place to be able to train freely if you guys are ever near Cincinnati Ohio I would love to have you guys over to shoot again it’s nothing special but we have the ability to move and train realistically as opposed to your basic indoor range or even outdoor range where they do not allow movement or drawing from the holster as at my house we have the luxury and freedoms to train how we want. With the exception of your ammunition it’s absolutely free at my house so I realize how lucky I am to have my own range that’s why I extend the offer to not only you but anyone in our community that is near Cincinnati Ohio please feel completely welcome and let me know.

But also been doing AR 1 or 2 shots and transition to Pistol drills. Guess Ill start working on my fast draw now. I keep a pistol in my truck as well and for years have practiced pulling it and aiming it at different points as the truck warms up. Only takes about 1-2 min to get several drills in.

Best I could do was a semi consistent 1.38 to 1.45. I watched your video, conducted your micro drills, then put them together and my God, I dropped my draw to an accurate first shot to a consistent sub second. Average after 21 shots of 0.93 secs. Best of 0.79 secs. Worst of 1.08 secs. When are you coming to a state near WV so I can take your Gunfighter pistol course. Please keep up the great work.

    Self-defense shootings are likely to occur within 10 feet. Draw to the retention index. Then just push to the short index, and on to the sighted index. Start shooting as the situation dictates. One draw satisfying all intervals satisfies Hicks. All draws should be accompanied by movement off the X. Equipping the most basic shooters with the skills for real-life scenarios is the most responsible training.

    Mike, I agree with your points. However hunters typically don't carry fast draw rigs as we don't want to lose a weapon due to heavy and trees. These rigs are tightly wrapped buttoned down etc. Be great if you do time and research into strapped down handgun rigs and bears are pretty fast when you need a sidearm in a real hurry.
