Frequently Asked Questions

What are effective methods for clearing clothing during a concealed carry draw?

Effective methods include the C-Grip, where fingers hook under the garment; the Sneaky Pee/Right on Top of Left technique for discreet access; and the Judo Chop/Thumb Activation method, which uses the thumb to create space, especially useful for multiple layers of clothing.

How can I improve my concealed carry draw speed?

To improve draw speed, focus on efficient garment clearance techniques rather than just moving your limbs faster. Practice dry-fire drills to isolate clearance and live-fire exercises to build speed and accuracy from concealment.

Why is appendix carry often recommended for concealed carry speed?

Appendix carry is often recommended for its speed and efficiency because it allows for a direct and unobstructed draw. It's also considered ideal for car carry due to the natural clearance provided by the seat belt gap.

What is the importance of practicing concealed carry under pressure?

Practicing concealed carry under pressure, such as with a shot timer, helps shooters become accustomed to the stress of a real-world scenario. This training is vital for maintaining fundamentals and executing a fast, accurate draw when it matters most.
