How about the mysteries of the consistent and proper trigger pull.....squeeze...press???
(It's on the list. )
As IPSC and IDPA RO/SO the number of people that can not clear a live weapon at the end of shooting without either putting part of their hand in front of the muzzle or covering up the ejection port with their hand so I can't see what is going on.
Add to the list "The combat roll" which is highly effective for entering a room full of bad guys.
I can do that.
It won't look THIS smooth, though.

(I have to admit, considering how easily he was "posing" as opposed to simply getting into a firing stance, I expecting him to start sashaying back up the runway at the end.)
That was one of the.....lamest things I've ever seen.
This is the ugly face of jealousy.

Here's Expert Pistolero Jerry Miculek demonstrating the Draw:
Anyhow, the first thing I immediately thought I saw him doing (wrong) with his draw was putting his shooting finger into the trigger guard at about 10 degrees or so from the vertical, as he is bringing his handgun up to shoot.
But then later in the video he says that the trigger finger must never be on the trigger/in the trigger guard until the handgun is level (90 degrees from vertical) and pointed downrange.
I didn't know there was a name for those draws, but they seem appropriate.
I like the looks of that appendix holster, what kind is it?
Who did your voice over? :laugh:
That was a very good video and explained the issues very well. I was able to take away some good information.
Also, your comments on the site that you hadn't a script and your voice was failing, I did not notice at all. You did a very good job presenting the information and I thought your voice held up well.
I have always been partial to the late great Bob Munden's draw, the fastest draw in the world, although not applicable for self defense. R.I.P. BOB.
That's not fast, this is fast. :o

Competition guns often have extended ejectors to get the empty out of the port as soon as possible. If a gun jams up and the slide is being racked while the ejection port is covered the round could be crooked in there and the ejector could hit the primer. Anything bad that happens is going to come out of either the muzzle or the ejection port. I see no need to put human flesh in any of those two danger zones.
