In this week’s video, Tyler talks about training drawing from a concealed holster and speed. Last week Tyler showed the first, most crucial part of drawing from concealed, which is getting the clothes out of the way to expose your firearm and make it able to be drawn without hangups. This week, he talks about actually drawing the firearm out of the holster, and addresses the concept of speed, in terms of drawing your gun quickly.

In this week’s video, Tyler talks about training drawing from a concealed holster and speed.  Last week Tyler showed the first, most crucial part of drawing from concealed, which is getting the clothes out of the way to expose your firearm and make it able to be drawn without hangups.  This week, he talks about actually drawing the firearm out of the holster, and addresses the concept of speed, in terms of drawing your gun quickly.  There is an old saying in martial arts training “slow is fast, and fast is slow”, meaning that if you try to make your movements fast and concentrate on speed, they will be slower than if you develop your movements over time by practicing slow movements.  You are never going to make yourself fast by trying to be fast, so try to practice drawing from a concealed holster slowly, perfectly over time.  Practice your movements very robotically and mechanically over and over and over again, and in time, the speed will come.  Always be sure that your gun is unloaded and safe before practicing drawing from a concealed holster.
