    I'd throw in a cover garment for realistic training and protection from the cat. Nice concentration

    When I first read this I thought you meant throw a cover garment on the cat.

    I don't think I could have held my concentration... the cat must have kept her claws in.

    I wonder if the rule book mentions cats. Anything for an edge, right?

    A quick tip:
    Do an exact reverse of your draw when you re-holster.
    It's basically a free repetition.

    I normally do more of a reverse draw when re-holstering, but since my hand is in a different position (thumb on hammer) and I also insert the gun differently than it comes out, it's not totally a mirror image. As well, I found with Raeden on my shoulder too much movement going back caused him to dig in more than normal. Although he dug in enough anyhow. We're all used to it around here. The wife and I are covered in scars from him climbing us. We don't mind.
    No cover garments as I shoot IPSC not IDPA.

    I too ride the hammer on re-holster.
    I do a reverse press out back to my compressed pectoral position then as I roll the muzzle from horizontal to vertical I place my thumb on the hammer and drop straight down into the holster.
    At the range I usually do a magazine round check/tac reload and press check at the compressed ready then ride the hammer to the holster.
    In your video you did a reverse bowling draw instead of a reverse press out.
    Thats missing out on a free repetition.
    Other than that and the bad hairpiece you looked good.
