SUL really hurts my right wrist, so it is a very momentary position that I have used only occasionally, before and after it was taught at our academy. I was never taught that SUL is a ready position. Actually, I may never have been formally trained to use SUL, at all, as it did not enter the curriculum at the academy until long after I graduated.
I prefer SouthNarc’s “Averted” #2, especially if my right hand is my weapon hand, in situations where SUL would apply. The wrist remains straight. (This was what Craig called it, when I attended ECQC during Paleolithic times. Terminology may have evolved, since then.)
Retar’d LE. Kinesthetic dufus.
