AAR: Kyle Defoor 2-Day Advanced Handgun - Sept. 14-15, 2011 - Castro Valley, CA

Kyle emphasized his preference for a high ready position with pistols—the front sight is nearly even with the eyes, with a slight upward cant to the barrel. He also emphasized a similar high position when reloading. Kyle also discussed the problems that can occur with a low ready, as well as compressed ready positions like SUL, particularly as related to LE/CQB/PSD use in tight quarters.

He is quite adamant that IWB/AIWB is the best way to carry in a truly concealed fashion.

Very interesting, and good to hear. I use the high ready (elevated muzzle), and my press-out/presentation involves passing through the high ready. I was just in a class, from a different instructor - but well known, where the high ready was regarded as bad for "CQC" (and so was AIWB).

It sounds like Kyle's methods would line up well with my preferred methods and would be worthwhile instruction for me.

I occasionally cross paths with people who occasionally perform CQC type missions. And if the high ready is a "BAD" for CQC, what would be considered "GOOD"? I only ask because I think these guys should know they are doing it wrong.

I think that is the best course AAR I've ever read. Thanks.
