Frequently Asked Questions

What is the key to an effective holster draw with a Safariland 7360RDS?

The key to an effective draw from a Safariland 7360RDS is consistent training and acquiring a solid grip on the firearm's handle before it fully clears the holster. A slight body lean can facilitate this grip, especially when drawing at speed.

How does body lean affect a holster draw?

A slight lean to the left can create more space for your hand to get a proper grip on the firearm's handle when drawing from a retention holster. As you draw upwards, a lean to the right helps bring the firearm to a ready position.

What are common issues when drawing from a Safariland 7360RDS?

A common issue with the Safariland 7360RDS is accidentally hitting the thumb retention lip if the draw is rushed without conscious effort to disengage it. Practicing slowly helps overcome this.

Practicing drawing slowly allows you to focus on the mechanics and ensure a proper grip and retention disengagement. This 'slow is smooth, smooth is fast' approach builds the muscle memory needed for efficient and quick draws under pressure.
