Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary principle of the universal cover garment defeat methodology?

The primary principle is to use a single hand as the default for clearing the cover garment, allowing the other hand to be available for defensive actions. Two hands are considered a contingency.

Which hand should be used to clear a cover garment according to Magpul's technique?

The non-dominant or weak hand is recommended as the default for clearing the cover garment. This allows the strong hand to remain free for defensive maneuvers if necessary.

Where is the recommended point of entry for defeating a cover garment?

The recommended entry point is the 'hip crease,' which is the joint area at the hip. From here, you attack the base layer of clothing.

What is the recommended thumb motion when clearing a cover garment?

The technique involves approaching the base layer with a horizontal thumb, then transitioning to a vertical thumb once underneath the fabric to clear the garment over to the firearm.
