This guide details a practical drill to compare the draw speed of a firearm from an on-body holster versus a CCW bag. The host of 1st Shot Tactical, demonstrating high authority, uses a Shooters Global shot timer to objectively measure performance. The drill concludes that with the right setup, bag carry can be a comparable option to traditional on-body carry for self-defense, challenging common criticisms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is carrying a firearm in a bag slower than carrying it on your body?

Objective testing by 1st Shot Tactical shows that while on-body draws can be slightly faster (1.03s vs 1.10-1.25s), CCW bag draws are comparable and viable for self-defense, especially with a well-designed bag and holster system.

What equipment is needed to test firearm draw speeds?

To objectively test firearm draw speeds, you will need a reliable firearm, a holster (both on-body and for the bag), and a shot timer, such as the Shooters Global model used in this demonstration.

What are the benefits of using a CCW bag for concealed carry?

CCW bags offer an alternative carry method that can be comfortable and convenient. When equipped with a proper internal holster, they can provide rapid access comparable to on-body carry, challenging the notion that they are inherently too slow for self-defense.

How can I improve my draw speed from a CCW bag?

Improving CCW bag draw speed involves using a bag with a dedicated, quick-access holster system and practicing regularly. Focus on consistent grip, smooth motion, and minimizing any obstructions between you and the firearm.
