First, I discuss the philosophy of a direct presentation vs a press out:
Here I am, doing my best to demo a direct presentation, drawing to an eight inch steel at 15 yards, with my P09/Vortex Venom, no BUIS:

George,
In reference to the DA draws video on page 1; it does not appear that you are following through on the next sight picture after the shot breaks...:: or prepping the trigger during the "reactive shooting" cycle
Why?
It seems that we should at least also acquire the 2nd sight picture even if we do not prep the trigger...
It seems a little rushed checking the timer w/ no follow though at all.
This is just another life long student focusing on learning from each other!

I certainly agree that I was timer focused on the draws! The follow through is kind of interesting, because while it doesn’t look like I was following through, on the last draw when I had a surprise empty chamber, the gun didn’t move from steady on target, and was a great example of TPC’s “let recoil happen.” On the video I posted on this page, I made a more conscious effort to do a classic follow through.
Was discussing follow through with a TPC instructor yesterday. I think I am calling the shot before and during the press, as opposed to in the traditional way of as the sight lifts.
This pistol shooting thing is an ongoing learning process!

And this is why PF is so much better than all the other forums. Great Stuff GJM. A couple of things/questions. Regarding your draw and presentation, I find it much more natural to do a “press out” when drawing from aiwb. From owb holster, it seems more natural to do what you illustrate in the video. Something I’ll work on.
Secondly, for me beyond 5 yards isn’t a problem at all acquiring the dot with accuracy, for me the struggle is at 5 yards in, great example is doing a dot torture at 3/4 yards. My dot has to be at the very top of the circle, if the dot is placed inside on the middle of the circle, it always goes low. My dot is zeroed in at 10 yards, at 25 it makes the issue even more prevalent.
At close distance, there is mechanical offset between dot and the barrel, just like an AR but less amount of offset. At seven yards, for example, on two,inch dots I hold at the top of the dot. On a one inch dot, I hold just above the dot. My red dot pistols are zeroed at 25 yards.

GJM, what is TPC?
And have you addressed the tipped up muzzle with changing out the back strap? You’re referring to how you’re indexing right? I ask because I have an SP01 and installed the medium blackstrap on my P09 as it appears to have the same grip shape.

Thanks! I’ll look into it - especially since Ron Avery is involved, and I like the more “natural” aspect to shooting.
