This video demonstrates an advanced concealed carry technique: the Bill Drill from concealment, executed by Scott Jedlinski of Modern Samurai Project. He achieves an impressive 1.91-second time for six shots from a red-dot equipped handgun in an AIWB holster, highlighting efficient draw mechanics and recoil control. This drill is a benchmark for speed and accuracy under pressure.

The common excuse of a high bore axis negatively impacting recoil control on pistols like the Sig P320 is largely a myth. Recoil management is primarily dictated by the support hand's grip, not the firearm's bore axis height. Demonstrations show that proper technique allows for flat shooting and quick recovery, even with firearms often criticized for this perceived flaw.

This video emphasizes the critical role of the support hand in firearm control, particularly for recoil management. Scott Jedlinski demonstrates that proper support hand grip mechanics, positioned high above the bore axis, can significantly reduce muzzle flip, even to the point of making the gun shoot flat with both hands. The demonstration highlights that the support hand is the primary driver of stability, challenging conventional wisdom.

This video addresses the common issue of failing to acquire the red dot sight during a pistol draw. Instructor Scott Jedlinski explains that 'useless frenetic motion' like excessive head movement or rigid arms causes this. He recommends high ready presentation drills to build muscle memory and subconscious competence. Training at high speed is crucial for exposing and correcting technical flaws.
