Frequently Asked Questions

How do you draw a pistol effectively while wearing a jacket?

To draw effectively while wearing a jacket, simultaneously clear the garment away from the firearm as you reach for your pistol. Focus on establishing a 'master grip' before fully drawing and ensure the jacket is completely managed to avoid snags. Slowing down slightly can help ensure a clean presentation.

What is a common mistake when drawing a concealed pistol with a jacket?

A common mistake is the 'partial flick' of the jacket, which often leads to a suboptimal grip with a significant gap at the beaver tail. This compromises the presentation of the firearm and can negatively impact shot accuracy. Always ensure the garment is fully cleared.

Why is a 'master grip' important during a concealed pistol draw?

A 'master grip' is vital because it ensures maximum control, stability, and leverage over the firearm. Establishing this grip early in the draw, even while clearing the garment, is key to a smooth and accurate presentation of the pistol.

What is the correct way to reholster a pistol after drawing it?

When reholstering, it's crucial to visually guide the pistol into the holster. This technique ensures the firearm is correctly seated and prevents accidental discharges or damage to the holster or firearm. Always look the gun into the holster.
