Dry Fire Draw Routines with Taylor

- *Before running any dry fire drills, visually and physically inspect your gun is clear, then clear the area of all live ammunition. *
We’re headed back to the dry fire practice ring to bring you another fun activity to beat the boredom and improve those shooting skills. Today, let’s work on drawing from the holster. A good, clean draw can make all the difference in a high-stress, self-defense scenario and it can shave time off in a competition.
Drill 1: Grip consistency
Draw your firearm. Using a marker, draw a line over both hands where they meet thumb-side. This allows you to see if your hands are consistently meeting in the same place.
Drill 2: Draw height consistency
Draw and present the firearm approximately 2-inches from a wall or target. Use a piece of tape to note where the gun was pointed after the draw. The tape will act as a visual indicator to ensure you are raising the gun to the same spot each time, ultimately building muscle memory. Make sure when drawing, you bring the sights to your eyes.
Drill 3: 50% speed draw
With a weighted magazine inserted into the handgun, holster the gun and draw at 50% speed towards a target or aim point. Focus on establishing a proper grip and looking down the sights as you push the pistol towards the target.
Drill 4: 75% speed draw
With a weighted magazine inserted into the handgun, holster the gun and draw at 75% speed towards a target or aim point. Focus on maintaining proper technique.
Drill 5: Draw from surrender
With the handgun holstered and weighted magazine inserted, draw from the surrender position. The surrender position is defined as wrists above shoulders. For best results, develop a touchpoint, or location your fingers touch every time. Ear pro or the bill of a hat works well as a touchpoint to ensure a consistent draw each time.
Drill 6: Turn and draw
With the handgun holstered and weighted magazine inserted, start with your back facing the target in either the surrender position or with hands relaxed at sides. At the start signal, turn to face the target and draw. Do not break the 180-degree plane as your turn to draw. Also, reholster prior to turning around and restarting the drill. Always practice basic safety as if you are on the range even when you are not.
Tip: If you turn to the side with your gun, a draw can be completed quicker. Use the momentum of your turning body to help guide the firearm out of the holster. Also, consider foot movement. On a smooth surface you can pivot, but on a rocky surface a two-step turn is needed.
Final Thoughts
Get to dry firing and track your progress. Remember consistency is key! If you can perfect your draw off the range, it will only improve your performance on the range.
Thanks Taylor!
This was a great tutorial, with a lot of valuable learning tools, that all gun owners, new and old, can benefit from.
I would like this to become a series of training videos in the future. You obviously have a wealth of knowledge and experience.
Good job!
Glad you enjoyed it! Working on some new ideas. It is interesting trying to balance both the basics and more advanced skills...
This is awesome! I hope this becomes a permanent series. Keep up the great tutorials. Much appreciated.
Lots of good stuff here Taylor. I particularly enjoyed drawing the line on the hands for their grip.
Thank youououou !!. It is a very interesting action and it makes me very happy. I have never been told about it. 🙏💖💖💖✌🏻🙏🎊🌈🎆,😁🌟.
That's a SIG P320 Full Size, right? Love it. The best pistol. :)
Hi Taylor Ive been following these at home workout videos with you and wanted to say how great of a job that you are doing. I wanted to ask by watching your videos can we also talk more about holster clearing? Wear the belt moves more up than twisting. Just a suggestion.
I second this 👍
Looks very smooth! Would you please share what holster and belt you’re using. I’ve only used Blue Alpha and Vedder which are acceptable but unimpressive. That would be helpful thank you and Best Regards.
Thank you! The holster is Comp Tac with a Boss Hanger from Ben Stoeger, the belt however I got for free from a friend and is same as yours, acceptable but unimpressive. Made by CR Speed. DAA makes an awesome belt, they made my mag pouches.
I have the same pistol setup.
What is pistol holster and belt you have here?
Awesome! The X5 is great, though I had to get a grip reduction from Grayguns to help it fit better.
The holster is Comp Tac with a Boss Hanger from Ben Stoeger, the belt a friend of mine actually got for free, then gave to me because it was too small lol! It is a CR Speed. DAA belts a great.... my pouches are by them
