One of the best pure gun-handling drills I've ever done.

I agree Jay. Best performed when nearly hypothermic, wearing gloves, in a snow/freezing rain environment.

"The concept behind this exercise, if you're going to rely on a handgun in any capacity, you should be equally proficient with either hand." - Dave Harrington

Emphasis mine. Really drives home something that I have not really incorporated into my training as of yet. It starts today.

I know the original intent is to access the primary with your non-dominant hand, but it might be an interesting tweak to draw your BUG with the weak hand instead if you're set up for such.
