Tip #1, use a competition speed holster that only requires the pistol to be lifted a half an inch to be completely free of the holster. Completely unrealistic to a CCW style holster.
Depending on how you carry concealed, the tip works. It's about the support hand and when your hands marry and the momentum created (as mentioned in the video), not specifically your holster or whether you carry concealed.
The concept is the same even with an active retention holster as that’s needed in production division. Sub 1 second draws with a DA pulls are possible from doing a 1-step diagonal draw instead of the traditional 2-step L draw. They usually call the draws the Filipino and American draws respectively. JJ Racaza also talks about the same draw in his own way. It’s quicker for the simple reason that a triangle is formed from the holster to the point of aim. The hypotenuse is shorter, and therefore quicker to travel than going up the leg of the triangle (from holster to shoulder) then pushing it out to full extension. The timing of the grip just adds consistency and momentum on full extension. For CC, it’s still the same way to where you’d be able to reach full extension and pop the first shot quicker, it’s just a different initial starting point depending on the holster you have (whether AIWB or IWB 4:30)
This was very helpful. Two tips were presented. 1) don't syncronize both hands moving. The left (weak) pauses at the belt buckle and the right sympathizes by pausing at the initial grip. 2) the left hand movement becomes a spring to push the pistol out quicker. These two tips will really help IDPA shooters.
YES. DATA. Way better than just “he’s good so trust him.” Sometimes that works. But sometimes it’s a body type thing. Or a 10k reps type thing. Nothing proves the point like data. Thank you!
My theory is traditional draw is an L movement and Philipino technique shown is an arch movement. Essentially you've cit the corner! Great content brother!
Jets technique makes perfect sense. Consistent fluid movement vs jerky move stop move. Plus Jets technique there should be less tension in your muscles. Lastly I like idea of combining Jets technique plus JJ tip of bringing pistol up with support hand once it’s cleared holster. I’ve had great success using these techniques in bill drills getting consistent draws under 1 second and bill drills at 7 yards under 2 seconds. Thanks for all the videos on fundamentals and tips how to be more efficient!
@@patsythompson3815 by the time the Americans came most of the country was already liberated by local guerillas. Before the fall of Bataan, us and Filipino soldiers were asked to do a final stand. It was an order that signed the death warrants of so many ussaffe soldiers. It wasn't to give them a fighting chance but to draw reasources and men from the japanese war machine. Saying the Philippines was liberated is an insult to those ussaffe soldiers left to face the japanese without support, holed in an area when they could've gone guerilla. They kept the enemy occupied enough for the allies to regroup. Btw, the japanese war machine they figured they'd have Bataan after two weeks, took em five months. And those who joined the death ,arch didn't choose surrender, they were ordered to do so. Remember you can say we were liberated. Or could it be those USAF soldiers sacrificed to buy the allies ltime. I
I didn’t even realize that I’ve been doing this one count process since I started shooting in the 80s. It came to to me, more or less instinctively. Ang talagang natural 😎🙏🇺🇸🇵🇭🇺🇸🇵🇭🇺🇸🇵🇭👍
I have practiced appendix holster draws for years with my EDC’s and based on shot timers I have it down to .93 to .98 at 5, 7, and 10 yards. I honestly had no idea that was considered fast. I just figured it was the best I could train to for self defense.
Even Jerry Miculek recognized filipino draw as a bit faster. It's the arching motion that's faster than the tactical draw. Watch Jerrys video also, a lot of information for a fast draw.
Good points on the why it's faster. Also, when the brain is tasked to only move one arm, the ions traveling in the nervous system are not divided as much, compared to moving two arms simultaneously. More ions dedicated to signaling one arm to move, allows it to receive a more constant flow of instructions, thus moves faster. Spreading out the tasks by this interval allows the brain and nervous system to recover into a ready state sooner. Less multi-task means faster execution.
Can you explain how to implement in a concealed carry application? Specifically AIWB. Because to clear the overgarment I would need to move my hands simultaneously to clear cover to establish a grip on frame. Thanks!
Hello. Good video. What holster you will take between Guga Ribas for competition. Guga Ribas - Universal holster for pistol or Guga Ribas - Neo holster for pistol? Thanks.
Miles is this basically the scoop draw?.I use the snatch draw method.I have under a 1 secind draw, somewhere around .75 to .85 but always under an inch.
I think the actual reason that the American-style draw is slower is that the hands marry to form the grip in front of the body earlier than in the Filipino style, resulting in the pistol traveling in a slightly curved -- and thus longer -- path.
So I was instructed that left hand to chest is a “safety” move. Protecting you from shooting your own hand in stressful DGU. Are you advocating this technique for CCW carriers ? Interesting to hear your thoughts…tks…
Your support hand is busy clearing your cover garment when drawing appendix from concealment and then joins your strong hand on the weapon once it is clear of the holster. I don't see how this technique is at all applicable to concealed carry from the appendix position.
Exactly. Maybe I need to rework something but at the buzzer my left hand starts moving to lay flat on my right pectoral at the same time my right hand is reaching for the firearm. I learned it this way, just as you said, so that if I ever needed to fire from retention I always know exactly where my support hand is until it marries with my draw hand.
Having a holster with minimal retention and requires very little upward movement might help, let it be known this technique helps competition shooting, takeaways for defensive use or training but let's be realistic about the everyday shooters goals and applications
I never tried to use this kind of holster but my buddys ...i am more on using retention holsters like the one i am using yesterday my blackhawk serpa holster for my glock they are fast but i can't tell if they are fast enough after we tried to shoot a target in a quickdraw practice coz we almost have the same shot time in a 7 yard line. wearing my jacket. But well if somone could tell me if its because the muzzle or sizes of pistol to be drawn that's different i am happy to learn more about it.
The cowboy fast draw competitions I have seen use a light while these are using sound to stat the draw. There is a stroboscopic light study made in 1945 by Life Magazine showing FBI agent Defl Bryce holding a Mexican Peso at eye level, drawing and firing a revolver, hitting the Peso in 0.25 or 0.26 seconds. Delf wasn't aiming down at the Peso, His shooting stance was a rater deep crouch. There is also a film of Delf and Bill Jordan drawing and firing on a target using light as a signal with times under 3/10's of a second. Delf should have been faster than Bill the gun only had to move half as far. It appears it takes longer to react to sound than to visual information.
Lol.... i did this the last 6 month but ended up changing it 2 weeks ago, cause i thought it was somewhat wrong. I think i´m going back to it :) If you watch carefully, there are people who do it that way. Like Ben Stoeger for example.
Just can't seem to get at my pistol to draw fast with my winter coat on and winter gloves. But in an ideal unrealist self defense situation I can draw fast even when the bad guy has the drop on me with his pistol to my head.
His holster is practical for the firing range and it is even almost, if not 3-inch, away from hip making his width or girth wider which is not best for duty carry. law enforcer must keep their firearms from its holster with retention, safe and ready.
I would argue to not delay but speed up. By speeding up your support hand you speed up your shooting hand. If not, your support hand is positioned center chest with thumb forward waiting for the catch. Thinking of delaying and being as quick as possible is counter intuitive. Pushing 1 sec with an open holster is kinda slow.
Keep your feet towards the target, if your shooting across your body your frame is going to throw you off. Depending on who you talk to crossing feet and moving in an arch, or push plant pull technique, but always feet towards target, walking, flat range, also is applicable as wearing body armor, plates are only rated for squared on impact not angled.
Someone tried to teach me to count out the steps of drawing. I couldn't even count without confusing my movements! Maybe just ONE with a delay is what I need! (His other tips were helpful though. Keeping the elbow in, got example.)
Keep your finger out of the trigger guard until your support hand is on the weapon and forming your grip. If you have it inside trigger guard prior to your support hand meeting the weapon you have a bad safety habit you need to break.
Jeesus, guys-- he's demonstrating a competition draw about which he made no claim for concealed carry, though it might have application there, too. He showed you an orange and you're upset that it's not an egg.
Is it not possible that his "one-step" draw is fast simply because thats what hes used to and adding another step is creating a mental limit on the entire motion..?
good for competition shooting, not self defense, becareful if you think otherwise, remember in the real world you are concealed and have to deal with clothing
Awesome tip! But WE must train to place our support hand on our belly as we reach for our duty weapon and meet the duty weapon at belly level on the way to present at high ready just as in your first example. We are told it is a safety measure. The tip makes total sense to me and I could feel it in my "total body movement."
Obviously draw time is largely a function of the openness of the target. On tighter targets, people tend to waste time by adding steps near the sight picture. Open targets are more of a measure of mechanical draw time. One way to to work on getting the weak hand to the gun is by practicing flat-out strong hand draws to an open target, then figuring out how to work the weak hand with minimal interruption of that process. You need to learn to listen very carefully for the beep, and initiate on its front end. If the beep duration is 0.30 and your par is 0.60, you should have the sensation of being half way to the discharge as the beep expires. It can help a lot to put the par on the timer, then practice just listening to the 2 beeps, and imagining your draw process on top of that soundtrack. I like to imagine there's a timer on the gun that controls the discharge. I 'set' the imaginary timer on the gun, and my job is just to get it on target before it goes off. It's also super helpful to have a timer that's sensitive enough to pick up the hammer/striker in dry fire. If you practice like that for a while, then run the same drill live, you can easily see how much time you're wasting anticipating the discharge.
It looks to me like there are both bio mechanics and physics involved. As a knife maker I have started to get out into the weeds when it comes to that sort of thing and very small changes can have an effect. Your muscles work by a push pull system and your body has to be turning things off and on to stabilize any movement. For me just looking at it if you start the draw with your right hand and the left stays in place you are adding stabilizing weight to compensate for the motion. If your left hand moves to the center of chest you are adding motion in the same direction as your draw and removing the counter balance. That motion then has to be arrested and redirected and that motion has to be absorbed by the support structure. His way you give extra ballanced against the downward motion and then both arms are moving in the same direction and with a weight forward posture all movement is in line with the support base. My wife is a physical therapist and I have picked up a few useful things from her and by reading her books. I work in welding and find that many of the body mechanics apply to shooting as well. One thing that may be helpful to keep in mind that nerve activation is electrical but that only starts muscle activation. After that things slow down. If a muscle contracts the apposing muscle has to relax and fuel has to be burned for the energy. Whenever we are standing we are at our least supported and we might fire tens or a hundred muscles to keep a tension chain. The more complex this gets we will slow down. We see this with trying to hold a steady aim where we have shaking and movement as our muscles fire back and forth to hold steady but if we just add movement then we get a far more simple contraction and are very steady although we are moving. I just wanted to bring up what I have discovered with knife making. Should anyone have questions about those I do check my messages and there has been a lot of new research lately. But basically we know how much bullet weight affects speed. When making knives and axes you can see some really big changes with where weight is placed and how much there is. For example modern axes have much thicker handles than old ones. By just removing all of that extra material and bringing it back to how the should be an axe will hit harder. This is because all of that weight is slowing the rotation and also has to be powered by muscle. Any knife designed to chop has the same problem and a hidden tang will hit harder than a heavy full tang all things being equal. I use this as an example because a knife or a sword often wants to balance closer to the hand to keep the point nimble but by removing weight from the handle side the blade hits harder and weight can be removed from the blade as well and depending on how long the blade is and how hard you need it to hit the more weight you can pair off the faster the blade is and that can make it hit harder as well. It quickly becomes apperant that anytime you can reduce weight you can move an object faster. With firearms this is both good and bad. It's good when you need to work them and bad when you need them to soak up recoil and dampen whatever leftover energy we might impart while trying to aim. I will just add that a hard part is that our brains are electrochemical and anytime we had a more complex movement pattern or are just learning a new one we can be adding delays. Some things may depend on the person and some may take training. After going through an injury I have had to do a bunch of research about how the brain and nervous system works. A lot of things we regard as mental health are just simple chemistry and there can be a lot of things to improve it. For someone who wants to perform at the extreme edge beginning to look at what systems you are using and how they are being engaged will give you an edge
I beat Marshal Dillon every week with my Crossman 357.So bad my Glock only serves me in weight and not how many bad guys dead ratio.Let me hear again about your 1911.
That tip may work, but in a conventional holster, it will add significant time to the draw. Your method is unconventional to the normal person who carries. So, should Vetter holster get rid of all their full draw holsters & only sell the split front types like you are endorsing?
Tip #1, use a competition speed holster that only requires the pistol to be lifted a half an inch to be completely free of the holster. Completely unrealistic to a CCW style holster.

Good job. If you can consistently hit a man sized target at 10-yards under a second from concealment, that is really good.
I’d like to see that. Purely on mechanics, because even if I prestige my posture, it’s still around a 1.5 draw.

Do you have all of the times from the 10 draws each?
Mantis is an app that records everything, so he should have all data.
What I fear to use this technique over the traditional draw is that I might sweep the muzzle with my support hand. Is there a tip to prevent this?
Maybe, if there isn't then I guess you better be damn careful
Keep your finger out of the trigger guard until your support hand is on the weapon and forming your grip. If you have it inside trigger guard prior to your support hand meeting the weapon you have a bad safety habit you need to break.

Awesome tip! But WE must train to place our support hand on our belly as we reach for our duty weapon and meet the duty weapon at belly level on the way to present at high ready just as in your first example. We are told it is a safety measure. The tip makes total sense to me and I could feel it in my "total body movement."
Obviously draw time is largely a function of the openness of the target. On tighter targets, people tend to waste time by adding steps near the sight picture. Open targets are more of a measure of mechanical draw time.
One way to to work on getting the weak hand to the gun is by practicing flat-out strong hand draws to an open target, then figuring out how to work the weak hand with minimal interruption of that process.
You need to learn to listen very carefully for the beep, and initiate on its front end. If the beep duration is 0.30 and your par is 0.60, you should have the sensation of being half way to the discharge as the beep expires.
It can help a lot to put the par on the timer, then practice just listening to the 2 beeps, and imagining your draw process on top of that soundtrack. I like to imagine there's a timer on the gun that controls the discharge. I 'set' the imaginary timer on the gun, and my job is just to get it on target before it goes off.

It looks to me like there are both bio mechanics and physics involved. As a knife maker I have started to get out into the weeds when it comes to that sort of thing and very small changes can have an effect.

Any knife designed to chop has the same problem and a hidden tang will hit harder than a heavy full tang all things being equal. I use this as an example because a knife or a sword often wants to balance closer to the hand to keep the point nimble but by removing weight from the handle side the blade hits harder and weight can be removed from the blade as well and depending on how long the blade is and how hard you need it to hit the more weight you can pair off the faster the blade is and that can make it hit harder as well. It quickly becomes apperant that anytime you can reduce weight you can move an object faster. With firearms this is both good and bad. It's good when you need to work them and bad when you need them to soak up recoil and dampen whatever leftover energy we might impart while trying to aim.
I will just add that a hard part is that our brains are electrochemical and anytime we had a more complex movement pattern or are just learning a new one we can be adding delays. Some things may depend on the person and some may take training. After going through an injury I have had to do a bunch of research about how the brain and nervous system works. A lot of things we regard as mental health are just simple chemistry and there can be a lot of things to improve it. For someone who wants to perform at the extreme edge beginning to look at what systems you are using and how they are being engaged will give you an edge
1.22 sec double tap and combat holster not sports holster
Do it with a tactical holster and maybe kit then describe it as tactical otherwise its sport shooting
👍
I beat Marshal Dillon every week with my Crossman 357.So bad my Glock only serves me in weight and not how many bad guys dead ratio.Let me hear again about your 1911.

.76 out of regular holster on target.
WOAH
Ok, so now do it with a Level III retention holster…
Pro tip, don’t use drugs😜
That tip may work, but in a conventional holster, it will add significant time to the draw. Your method is unconventional to the normal person who carries. So, should Vetter holster get rid of all their full draw holsters & only sell the split front types like you are endorsing?
