Paul Kasa of Achilles Heel Tactical demonstrates the scoop draw from retention, emphasizing maintaining momentum throughout the draw stroke. Key to this technique is proper holster cant (slight negative) and potentially using a thumb nub to ensure simultaneous deactivation of retention devices like the ALS lever. The method focuses on leading with the thumb to break retention and establish a consistent grip, ultimately leading to a faster and more accurate first shot.
