Particularly when using holsters that have low ride height. This picture is not mine, it is @Jay Cunningham picture from another thread but it properly shows what I would like to discuss.
That is, how to best acquire a full firing grip when using holsters that ride low to the belt line or even at the belt line. What I have done in the past with full size guns is more of a scoop draw and use my fingers to kind of scoop the gun out of the holster. But since I’ve been transitioning to a g43 this doesn’t work well. In another thread I read about driving the thumb, which I usually don’t do. I’ve been trying this and it feels awkward (probably because of thousands of reps of not doing so).
So I’m curious, what are you guys doing to best mix speed and consistency while acquiring the grip? I’ve looked around for some videos on driving the thumb but have not had any luck. I found a video of @Prdator demoing his errand but it seems he uses more of the scoop draw with it . I just can’t seem to do this without really fishing around for the gun.
Thoughts?
