The Path To An Efficient AIWB Draw: The 2011 Addendum

This video explores the feasibility of bump firing a 2011 pistol, specifically the Girsan CMX model, and compares it to a Glock. The instructor, demonstrating experienced firearm handling, finds bump firing a pistol to be difficult and inconsistent. The content suggests that while bump firing might be seen in movies, more effective methods exist for achieving rapid fire, especially when compared to submachine gun capabilities.

This video demonstrates advanced USPSA practice focusing on Appendix Inside the Waistband (AIWB) carry and "gamer rig" setups. Reno May, an experienced shooter, showcases drills involving rapid draws, engaging steel targets, and efficient reloads using specialized gear like the Billy Barton Flash Mag. The session highlights the effectiveness of AIWB for competition and includes reviews of specific products like MBX magazines, Advent Innovative steel poppers, and Cloak & Dagger target pasters.

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 video demonstrates a revised AIWB (Appendix Inside the Waistband) draw technique, shifting from a semicircular motion to a direct downward grab and upward press using the rear sight. The instructor highlights this change results in significantly faster draw times, as evidenced by shot timer results.

This guide details a progressive training method to reduce firearm draw times from 5 seconds to under 1 second, as demonstrated by TA Targets. It emphasizes establishing perfect mechanics, efficient garment clearing, and master grip acquisition. The progression utilizes a PACT Club Timer III to set par times, allowing shooters to build speed incrementally while maintaining accuracy. Instruction from a TA Targets Representative highlights expert-level technique refinement.

This guide synthesizes expert advice from Ben Stoeger and Nick Young on mastering the 2011 platform. It covers essential techniques like precise trigger control, managing grip angles for a consistent draw stroke, and understanding the unique shooting dynamics of 2011s compared to striker-fired pistols. The information is presented with a practical, analytical tone, drawing from the speakers' high-level competitive shooting experience.

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.
