This video details essential concealed carry techniques beyond basic certification. It emphasizes accessible carry positions, focusing on the strong-side belt as the most efficient. The core technique involves a rearward elbow movement for drawing, bringing the gun to the eye-target line, and integrating the support hand for a stable grip and presentation. The draw is described as an upside-down 'L' motion, and re-holstering is advised to be slow and deliberate.

Quick Summary

The most accessible concealed carry position is typically strong-side belt carry. To draw effectively, move your gun-hand elbow straight to the rear, bringing the firearm to the eye-target line while integrating your support hand for a stable grip. Re-holstering should be slow and deliberate, reversing the draw motion.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the key principle for a concealed carry firearm to be effective?

For a concealed carry firearm to be effective, it must be accessible. This means you should be able to bring it into action and achieve an accurate hit in approximately 2 seconds or less. If it takes longer, it may not be a factor in a self-defense situation.

What is the most accessible carry position for a concealed firearm?

The strong-side belt carry is generally considered the most accessible location for a concealed firearm. This is because your hands naturally rest in positions that allow for quick access to this area during your daily routine.

How should you perform a handgun draw from a fending position?

From a fending position, take your gun-hand elbow straight to the rear, allowing your hand to follow. Then, bring the gun up to the eye-target line. Simultaneously, bend your support arm's elbow upwards to bring both hands together for a stable grip and presentation.

What is the recommended technique for re-holstering a handgun?

Re-holstering should be done deliberately and slowly. Reverse the draw motion, rotating the pistol back into the holster. Guide the dust cover into the holster pouch to ensure a safe and proper re-holster.
