Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main danger of speed reholstering?

The primary danger of speed reholstering is the high risk of an accidental discharge (AD). This often occurs when the shooter doesn't look or clear obstructions, potentially leading to self-inflicted injuries, especially in the groin area with appendix carry.

Why do people attempt speed reholstering?

People attempt speed reholstering often due to a perceived 'cool' factor or because they've developed training scars that prioritize speed over fundamental safety. It's a common mistake seen in some training circles that emphasizes rapid manipulation.

What is appendix carry (AIWB) and why is it relevant to reholstering safety?

Appendix carry (AIWB) means wearing a firearm in a holster at the front of the waistband. This position is particularly dangerous for unsafe reholstering because any accidental discharge can directly impact the user's groin and femoral artery.
