Holster Drill

[Jaredjosh]

Found this video on Youtube and thought this would be a good drill. It involves catching and throwing a ball while unholstering and holstering your firearm.

looks like a good drill. i think using a tennis ball would work in-place of ordering the kit. i think i'll try when i get home tonight.

A few things, first, if you are a not a cop (and even if you are) when is your life ever going to depend on a fast reholster?

Playing these games will usually make you a good game player and bad in real life.

Practice your technique, ingrain that muscle memory, and you won't have to play with balls to get a fast and more importantly PROPER draw.

What is more important? Getting your gun out of the holster and facing somewhere forward at a random and pointing at an unpredictable point in space and spending half a second or more on acquiring your sights, extending your time well beyond 'clearing leather'?

or

Getting a solid grip, properly presenting thru the same muscle ingrained memory where you can point shoot for speed at contact distance or continuing the same path and muscle memory and coming up to take the xtra 1 to 2 tenths of second in which your sights come up to a predictable location and into your line of sight so you aren't hunting for them allowing you to place rounds on your intended target, instead of yanking out yer gat?

As far as your eyes, they are going to be focusing on your target waiting for your sights to come into view, not floating around checking out floating space balls.

Honestly the more I think about it, the stupider this 'exercise' gets.

If you want games, go pick up a copy of modern warfare.
