Frequently Asked Questions

What are the essential safety checks before drawing from concealment?

Before drawing, always ensure the firearm is clear, safe, and empty. This involves locking the slide back, confirming no magazine is in the magwell, and visually and tactilely inspecting the breech of the barrel for obstructions.

How should the trigger finger be positioned during a draw from concealment?

Your trigger finger should be in a high index position, resting straight against the frame of the gun, away from the trigger guard. It should only move to the trigger when you have made the decision to shoot.

What are key safety considerations when moving with a concealed firearm?

When moving, be mindful of both sides of the gun to prevent snagging on gear. Maintain strict muzzle discipline, never pointing the firearm at anything you don't intend to shoot, and be aware of your surroundings and other individuals.

What is involved in learning to clear a firearm one-handed?

Clearing a firearm one-handed is an advanced technique that requires multitasking and a different approach to thinking about firearm manipulation. It's a crucial skill for self-defense scenarios where you might have limited use of one hand.
