How to Draw a Handgun with only One Hand - World Champion Mike Seeklander - Going Tactical EP30

This guide details how to draw a firearm using only the support hand when the strong hand is incapacitated. It emphasizes rigorous safety protocols, including ensuring the firearm is unloaded and the training area is clear of ammunition. The technique involves clearing the garment with the support hand, securing a firm grip on the firearm, and then drawing it. The video highlights the importance of practicing this technique with various carry positions, such as strong side and appendix carry, and adapting the grip to individual anatomy.

This guide details essential garment clearing techniques for hip carry, emphasizing the importance of clearing from the bottom near the muzzle. It demonstrates both the support hand clear and the primary hand clear, highlighting the critical nature of the primary hand clear for situations like entangled gunfights where the support hand may be compromised. Instruction is provided by an experienced speaker from Tenicor.

Phil Strader demonstrates a strong-hand-only draw from appendix carry, emphasizing its tactical advantages. This technique allows the support hand to remain free for defensive actions during the draw, such as pulling up clothing or protecting a loved one. The presenter uses a SIG Sauer P365 for the demonstration.

This YouTube video from Tactical Hyve focuses on improving a concealed carrier's one-handed draw technique. The presenter, Myles, shares a specific tip to enhance this essential skill. The video also highlights the Tenicor holster used by Myles, providing a direct link for viewers to purchase it and a coupon code for a discount. The description emphasizes the importance of professional, in-person training for safe and effective firearm handling.

This video, 'Your Other Strong Hand: Into the Fray Episode 65' by USCCA, focuses on the critical techniques for drawing and reholstering a firearm using only your non-dominant (weak) hand, particularly when your dominant arm is injured. Instructor Kevin Mikowski emphasizes the need for extensive practice to overcome the challenges of one-handed manipulation of cover garments and the firearm itself. He advocates for treating both hands as equally strong and highlights the importance of a consistent training protocol to maintain proficiency in such compromised situations.

This technique, demonstrated by Mike CCLiner of the American Warrior Society and Team Wilson Combat, focuses on drawing a concealed handgun from a closed-front garment. Key principles include simultaneous hand movement, a four-finger hook and 'C' sweep of the garment with the strong hand, followed by a switch to the thumb and a direct drive to acquire a firing grip. The technique emphasizes consistency and the ability to draw with the strong hand only if necessary.

This guide details the dangers of 'thumbing the hammer down' on a loaded firearm, a technique strongly advised against by experts. It emphasizes that this action, which involves pulling the trigger while manually lowering the hammer, carries a high risk of accidental discharge if the thumb slips. The expert instruction highlights safer alternatives like engaging the manual safety for 'cocked and locked' carry or clearing the chamber entirely.

This guide details the advanced technique of hand stippling a 1911 firearm frame for enhanced grip, as demonstrated by a master gunsmith. It covers the precise application of texture using a punch and hammer, followed by meticulous filing to refine the edges. This process requires significant skill and attention to detail for a professional finish.

This guide details the proper technique for cycling the slide on a semi-automatic pistol, specifically the 1911, as explained by Ken Hackathorn. It emphasizes avoiding "gun abuse" by not slamming the slide on an empty chamber, which can cause premature wear. The explanation includes the mechanical reasons behind this, focusing on how the cartridge rim stabilizes the extractor and cushions the slide's action.

Massad Ayoob, a renowned firearms instructor and legal expert, details the critical post-Defensive Gun Use (DGU) protocol. He emphasizes that the most common mistake is failing to immediately call 911 after a DGU, even if no shots were fired. This action is crucial for establishing oneself as the victim complainant in the ensuing legal aftermath.
