AIWB Alternate Hand Positions

This video provides a comparative analysis of concealed carry draw speeds from appendix, 3 o'clock, and 4 o'clock positions. Instructors Daniel Richardson, Jason, and Eliza conduct timed drills, highlighting the efficiency and potential speed advantages of appendix carry while acknowledging the practicalities and limitations of other methods. The content emphasizes understanding personal baseline draw times and training for real-world scenarios.

This video provides a quick tip on improving appendix carry draws. The instructor emphasizes two primary methods for clearing the garment: hooking the bottom of the shirt and pulling it up, or grabbing and twisting the shirt. The preferred method involves grabbing and twisting for greater consistency across different clothing types. A key technique is to get three fingers into the grip area between the belt and the holster to establish a master grip before the firearm clears the holster.

This video demonstrates a revised AIWB (Appendix Inside the Waistband) draw technique, shifting from a semicircular motion to a direct downward grab and upward press using the rear sight. The instructor highlights this change results in significantly faster draw times, as evidenced by shot timer results.

This guide details the proper sequence for drawing a firearm from appendix carry and safely re-holstering. Key steps include ensuring safe firearm orientation, establishing a firm grip, and using the support hand to guide the draw and re-holster. Emphasis is placed on maintaining muzzle discipline throughout the entire process, especially when re-holstering.

This video demonstrates an appendix carry draw technique focused on achieving speed. The presenter, utilizing an orange training pistol and a timer, aims to reduce draw time. Through multiple attempts, the presenter refines the draw stroke, emphasizing smooth execution to achieve progressively faster times, culminating in a 1.14-second draw to the first shot. The instruction highlights the importance of grip, garment clearance, and a direct draw path.

This video critiques the advice of sucking in one's gut as part of the appendix carry draw stroke. The instructor emphasizes that a proper draw stroke should not rely on body manipulation like sucking in the gut. Instead, focus on a strong grip and defeating the garment efficiently. For individuals with a significant "beer gut" that impedes access or safe reholstering, the recommendation is to shift carry position to the 4:00 location and prioritize improving physical fitness.

This video demonstrates a high-level Bill Drill from concealment, executed by Scott Jedlinski of Modern Samurai Project in an impressive 1.91 seconds. It highlights the importance of a clean draw stroke, effective recoil management, and precise trigger control when shooting a red-dot equipped handgun. The drill emphasizes speed and accuracy at close range, showcasing advanced shooting techniques.

This guide, based on instruction from expert Scott Jedlinski of Modern Samurai Project, debunks the myth that a high bore axis on pistols like the Sig Sauer P320 inherently leads to uncontrollable recoil. It emphasizes that proper recoil management is primarily achieved through effective support hand engagement and grip, rather than being dictated by the bore axis height or beavertail design. The video demonstrates that with correct technique, firearms often criticized for their bore axis can shoot remarkably flat.

Scott Jedlinski, demonstrating high authority and expertise, emphasizes the critical role of the support hand in recoil control. Through live-fire demonstrations, he illustrates how a proper support hand grip, positioned high and applying inward pressure, significantly reduces muzzle flip, even surpassing the firing hand's contribution. This technique is crucial for advanced shooters seeking to maintain a flat shooting platform.

This guide details a training drill focused on improving red dot acquisition during the firearm draw, as instructed by Scott Jedlinski of Modern Samurai Project. It emphasizes correcting inefficient movements and building subconscious competence through high-speed practice and self-analysis. The drill is designed for intermediate shooters looking to enhance their speed and accuracy with red dot optics.
