I think that’s fair.
But I think people can waste a lot of time trying to validate other people’s half baked ideas. Like you said with your journey, rabbit hole.
Some of his non solutions to simple problems like his floppy broken holster or cutting his shoe and duct taping it… doesn’t smell like high level problem solving. He may be a high level problem solver but I just don’t have the time to waste being distracted in case he is not.
I actually paid for his video commentary as a training method before finding the Max Michel patreon and the difference in rationale and reasoning behind things was an order of magnitude different in the way they approached the same topic.
So from those personal experiences, I’m sticking with the Max method.
I played with an LCP with Wheeler laser simulating my normal draw just to see what it would look like.
I don’t know if it really shows anything meaningful, but this is approximately how the muzzle gets to target for me. With a holster I would have to draw upwards more first so I expect the approach angle to be shallower in real life.
