The Path to an Efficient AIWB Draw. Part 2: High Thoracic and the Claw Grip

This video details the 'cheater grip' technique for an efficient AIWB (Appendix Inside the Waistband) draw, focusing on garment manipulation when hands are below the waist. It emphasizes avoiding telegraphing the draw by subtly prepping the garment and then executing a rapid draw stroke. An alternative method for situations where garment prep is not allowed is also demonstrated.

John Johnson, owner of a firearms training facility in Cape Coral, Florida, outlines a five-step process for drawing a concealed carry pistol. He emphasizes the importance of muscle memory and safety protocols, particularly keeping the finger off the trigger. The steps involve clearing the garment, establishing a firm grip, drawing the weapon, presenting it with both hands, and engaging the target, followed by a safe reverse process for re-holstering.

This instructional video from Tenicor, presented by an experienced instructor, addresses the common issue of a snagged firearm draw. It provides practical techniques for clearing snags caused by cover garments, especially when using optic-equipped pistols. The emphasis is on a direct, corrective action rather than a diagnostic pause, ensuring a faster and more reliable draw under pressure.

This guide, presented by an experienced instructor, emphasizes building a reliable firearm draw that functions under pressure. It details techniques for clearing various cover garments for both hip and AIWB (Appendix Inside the Waistband) carry, stressing the importance of a consistent grip and smooth execution over pure speed. The instruction also covers dealing with potential snags and malfunctions during the draw.

This guide details the proper sequence for drawing a firearm from appendix carry and safely re-holstering. Key steps include ensuring safe firearm orientation, establishing a firm grip, and using the support hand to guide the draw and re-holster. Emphasis is placed on maintaining muzzle discipline throughout the entire process, especially when re-holstering.

This YouTube video features Jeff demonstrating the correct method for clearing a front-opening cover garment when drawing a firearm from a holster. He emphasizes that the motion doesn't require exaggerated movements and can be achieved efficiently by adhering to fundamental principles. The video aims to educate viewers on proper technique to ensure a smooth and effective draw, particularly relevant for concealed carry and self-defense scenarios.

This video demonstrates a high-level Bill Drill from concealment, executed by Scott Jedlinski of Modern Samurai Project in an impressive 1.91 seconds. It highlights the importance of a clean draw stroke, effective recoil management, and precise trigger control when shooting a red-dot equipped handgun. The drill emphasizes speed and accuracy at close range, showcasing advanced shooting techniques.

This guide, based on instruction from expert Scott Jedlinski of Modern Samurai Project, debunks the myth that a high bore axis on pistols like the Sig Sauer P320 inherently leads to uncontrollable recoil. It emphasizes that proper recoil management is primarily achieved through effective support hand engagement and grip, rather than being dictated by the bore axis height or beavertail design. The video demonstrates that with correct technique, firearms often criticized for their bore axis can shoot remarkably flat.

Scott Jedlinski, demonstrating high authority and expertise, emphasizes the critical role of the support hand in recoil control. Through live-fire demonstrations, he illustrates how a proper support hand grip, positioned high and applying inward pressure, significantly reduces muzzle flip, even surpassing the firing hand's contribution. This technique is crucial for advanced shooters seeking to maintain a flat shooting platform.

This guide details a training drill focused on improving red dot acquisition during the firearm draw, as instructed by Scott Jedlinski of Modern Samurai Project. It emphasizes correcting inefficient movements and building subconscious competence through high-speed practice and self-analysis. The drill is designed for intermediate shooters looking to enhance their speed and accuracy with red dot optics.
