Work on the draw could be faster. Good things he did was reholster without looking down and secured his weapon very nicely done.

USMC F.A.S.T. training schooled us in the use of high retention, not low over-the-holster, as was taught in the police academy for many years. While you make a valid point in using the free hand to defend against attack, the purpose of this video was exclusively to showcase the 070 holster from the surrender position.

Wrong exercise! First - shooting hand is too high, and Second - left hand must protect your face and head. This is CQC type of shooting - when opponent is too close for standard stance, and he can attack you. Knife in the neck or punch in the face - that is what this shooting must prevent.

Very nice draw with that holster. Where at in Cali? I noticed the CVC 10851 in the name.

Don't mean to critique, as the officer in the video probably has forgotten more about technique than I know, but why doesn't he disengage the safety whilst drawing, as opposed to at the end of the draw?

[jacobestes]

@damarei I would bet it's so you don't discharge during the draw.

[getfitdit]

@damarei For safety reasons, you never 'disengage' any gun as you are drawing it from a holster due to the danger of accidental discharge

[damarei]

@getfitdit

HURR DERP, unless you're crossdrawing, or taking the safety off while the gun is still in your pants, how is this a dangerous thing? If anything, you'll send a round into the ground in front of your target.

[getfitdit]

@damarei 'you'll send a round into the ground' or into ur foot :( but feel to take the safety off anytime u please...
