How to Draw and Grip a Pistol - Dryfire - USPSA - IPSC - IDPA

These are couple points I like to teach shooters on how to have an efficient draw. The most important part of the draw is the consistent grip that comes out of it. Without a consistent grip everything is so much harder to do. Once you can get a consistent grip then try to push the speed and lower you time, without taking short cuts.

4:05 that’s definitely my issue 🙋🏻‍♂️ As I’m new to this, I have trouble finding the dot. Thanks for the pro tip 💪

Really nice video! Good job! Nice Rangeman G-Shock too! Rangeman is a perfect watch for shooting range!

Hey 👋🏾 Brother we back again! Another great video! Another video request here.
Can you do a very detailed process of stage planning?

[@brantleymerriam]

I appreciate it man! I might could do that.

[@dotislife6537]

@@brantleymerriam thank you 🙏🏾 so much!!! We’re trying to go GM!!

[@kampaiii]

Can you show us an AIWB as well thanks.

[@brantleymerriam]

All the same principles apply. Both hand need to move simultaneously, the support hand just has to clear the shirt first.

Hi! I see that your left arm is seated higher than the right arm, which I'm gonna start trying out for sure, I wanted to ask about elbows, when you do this presentation, do you punch out your left arm fully extended with elbows locked in? and how about your right arm/elbow?

[@brantleymerriam]

Both elbows are not locked out. I like to keep them slightly bent so they can act as shock absorbers to the recoil of the gun. My right arm is bent alittle more than the left. The main thing I look for is having both my wrists locked out.

[@RogerLoUSPSA]

Gotcha! For your wrist locking technique, is there anything that you discovered that makes it easy to stay wrist locked? I tend to just do thumb pointing forward which creates a nature wrist lock but I'm not sure if this is the best way, some insights is welcomed!
