DRAW STROKE

Draw Stroke
I am posting some pictures with my preferred draw stroke. It is a 4 count draw stroke as learned from South Narc.


Count 1, with a solid fighting stance we obtain a grip on the pistol, the non-firing hand comes to the center of the chest.

Count 2, bring the gun up the center of the body, keeoing the elbow and shoulder high, letting the thumb of the firing hand rest at the pectorial index, the muzzle will be slightly canted down at an angle. This position is used to shoot from retention, you can use it in a stack and it is a extremely secure retention position for close quarters shooting (0 to 5 feet).

Count 3, brings the gun up high into the line of sight, the gun appears from your point of view to be on the center line how ever if you look at it from an opposing view it will be under your dominant eye, this is where the support hand meets the grip.

Count 4, is any where from here to full extension. Remember you want to extend the gun in approximation to the adversary to prevent a gun grab or fouling the gun.Remember the sooner you get the sights into the line of sight the faster you can make accurate shots on target.
Here is what it looks like from the adversary point of view.
