Good instruction. I say that because I served 15 of my 33 years in a federal agency as an academy firearms instructor. One very important thing whenever perfecting a draw is to start VERY VERY slowly over and over, allowing your draw sequence to SLOWLY increase as you become more and more familiar with the mechanics of that draw. Smoothness is what you are after, not raw speed. It has been said that a minimum of 500 draws for a particular mode of carry is needed to become proficient. When starting to practice it is good to stand in front of a mirror so that you can see your draw stroke. You will note that as you draw SLOWLY that there will be little starts and stops as you muscles become accustomed to drawing. That's normal. What you are watching for is a very slow draw without any little starts and stops. Those imperfections will disappear as you practice. When they are no longer visible you are well on your way to becoming fast. I had our students imagine that they were drawing while submersed in STP oil treatment or honey. If one does not follow this regimen they will, what we call, "Plateau Out." They will probably be fast, but significantly below the speed and smoothness that they could have achieved.
I used to carry back when I lived in Indiana almost 25yrs ago and never took any classes or really even watched videos. Since I moved to CA I don't carry and actually don't even own any firearms any longer, and yet I can't stop watching your videos. Good chance we will be moving to AZ soon where I will be able to carry again. This time I'm going to be taking classes and doing the practice drills that you all show. Its been super informative.
Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. I've been shooting for a long time but just over the past few years did I remember how important it was to go back to the basics. Even if you don't do more than a few reps, it's still important. Everyday I carry and before leaving the house I do a few draws. It's habit now. Thanks for the video
I watched this video some time ago, but came back to it because of today's email. I don't remember just when I watched, but probably didn't watch it the day it aired, if for no other reason because April 21, 2020 was our 47th wedding anniversary, and I had other things on my mind. ;-) Y'all are a great team! I've said in my comments before that as a guy I really like it when Mac is part of the video. That's not to denigrate you in any way, Stav. You are younger than my youngest child, but I've learned a lot from watching your videos. It's just that I like getting the man's perspective is helpful to me, and together y'all are just great!
I really appreciate your videos I have been shooting for a long while now and never realized all my Nad habits until watching you. So I want to just say Thank you and God bless you and yours.
Thank you both. These drills are very important more so for women because of the many different types of daily wear outfits. The step by step break down and explains the do’s and don’ts very well. 💕🍦🍦please continue the content for us. 💃💪👍
Trish thanks so much for the comment!! I'm glad you found it helpful. That's why I do what I do :) It's important to practice this from whichever holster you use! Especially since there are so many different types for women these days!
Where I have carried a small S&W Ladysmith .38 revolver for so many years, I have discovered transitioning into carrying a S&W M&P shield semi-automatic to be quite challenging. Everything from how I have to load the ammo into magazines to racking a stiff S&W slide to now holstering a gun with a bullet in the chamber, knowing I now have a very light trigger to be fully conscience of all the time, compared to my stiff trigger revolver. I definitely need this video in my life right now, where I'm still not used to carrying a gun with a slide, I never thought about drawing my gun & slightly leaning it far enough out away from my clothing so I don't jam up the slide. Kudos to Mac for pointing that out!! And, kudos to Stav for showing me some GREAT tips in another video on how to rack a stiff ass SW slide.😂...I really Love my new S&W Shield, I barely even notice any recoil after shooting a revolver for so many years but man, do I need lots & lots of practice on everything from my draw to learning how to clean & maintenance it. Thanks again for another great video!
Alumablack is a firearms aluminum darkening fluid. It's good for hiding dings and nicks on all kinds of firearms with aluminum parts. If you want your rear sight blackened, it would be a good choice because it's an effective product, and you can use it on other firearms, knives, flashlights, etc.
Your videos are so helpful! I couldn't go to the range on Friday so I dry practiced with my gun during the video. I'm going to use this video every time I practice at home. And I used my purse which has a holster.
Slow is fast, then fast is show. Stav recommended a dry fire laser system to us which was excellent advice. I followed it. Now I can practice this draw as my indoor range will not allow us to practice this while on the range.
Excellent content! Something to save lives with right there! Watching the active self protection series is also a great way to get multiple info on just how quick and dangerous situations can be as well keeping in mind self awareness. An excellent point that you guys brought up was tilting the gun out for clearance right after the draw as well immediately getting the gun down range after the draw! These video’s you and Mac are doing some great things for people! Thank you for your time and efforts!
I learn a little from every video, and I would not have even thought of maybe stopping the slide with with my body, causing a problem. I was thinking of that belt, and was wondering that I might catch my thump on the top, or on the inside and not getting a good grip on the gun, hanging up getting it out..I was also wondering if the gun would slide forward, putting the gun at the wrong angle, that pocket looked a little big.
Gosh! Awesome. We’re newly licensed and not going to the range alot b/c of how difficult it is to buy ammo. But we are practicing at home: two eyes open aim and now we have a great beginning lesson in how to draw. Thank You!
Great review! Felt like a mini CC2 class. :) Do a video on dry fire practice next - I think that would be helpful to people who can't get to the range right now. Love you both!
Excellent content! Between your channel, Carry Trainer, and John Lovell I have so much info to digest. I’ve been licensed a long time but never had any formal self defense training. I tried to get my brother to practice the drill you’ve depicted in this video and he said his holster is easy to draw from. 😢 Older guy he thinks he knows everything. Doesn’t help that he never practices firing his gun either. Oh well I tried. My club doesn’t allow any type of drawing from the holster so I practice at home. Slow and steady over and over. Thanks so much to both of you for the instruction! ✌️
Just subscribed. Very well spent 20 minutes for me. I appreciate your time. Clear, well spoken, common sense thoughts. Never thought about step two before. Good advice, develop technique then worry about speed. Thanks.
Love these refresher videos, I haven't been able to get to the range in a good year. Since the kiddo is home, I don't like her to see what I am up to. At least not yet.
I was recently given a link to u and ur hubbys videos. Let me just say ive learned SO so much from u two. I was correcting my draw and went back to fix it after u pointed out exactly what i was doing. I am also working on not being affraid of the kick in my 9mm. It make me flinch and i am not aiming it well from this. I have a .380 that has a laser sight on it and i hit my target every time w that gun. My my Springfield i am a terrible shot and i know its from my flinching. I am still trying to fix it. I think my ptsd doesnt help. It makes me even more tense. Im practicing now to over comes this.
Your all’s top tier but totally down to earth kindly instructionals take the cake and make our day. You’re right, we need to do plenty of dry run drills so to make it intuitive and to develop our muscle memory, and our confidence that we can do what God made us able to do to survive and protective both ourself and others. Thanks folks you both are the cat’s meow!
This is so so true for everything in life. But sometimes you can time these activities and I suggest you do. Being fast isn't all from your body it is from your brain so practice practice and your brain will slow down it can reduce the fear which can make you physically slow down smooth movements fast completion.
I want Mac as my coach! Another great video. I am definitely going to be practicing the draw. You guys put out quality content, I love it and can't wait for more.
I highly recommend the iTarget laser system. In addition to simple target shooting it has a draw program that will prompt you at whatever intervals you set, record the time from signal to shot, and score each hit. It’s great fun and provides real feedback with your actual carry gun, and you can practice for hours without leaving home or burning up ammo. Thanks for posting. Great ideas that I’m going to start adding to my practice.
@@SheEquipsHerself thanks for the reply... I just voted for you on the Gundies ,.. good luck and I just recieved my upLULA that you showed on a video that I ordered from GunGoddess... Have a Merry Christmas
Excellent breakdown of a good defensive draw. I practice shooting at every position from the first protected one to fully extended. Ms. Stav, I suggest standing with your knees bent a little more. That will give you more flexibility when checking behind you & will also protect your knees better from kicks. I've trained in Shotokan for years & everyone in my class expects to be kicked in the knees/thighs during a fight, something many disciplines seem to overlook. But we never have leg injuries because we expect it & train for it. Hope that helps & keep up the good work. I'll be sharing your videos often.
Very good tip on bending the knees slightly. Besides the obvious benefits as martial artists realise doing this, it gives you a better platform for stability and pivot moments if the need arises. One other slight mention, for this great video, never look at your holster when re-holstering. Maintain situational awareness always and through practice you'll always know where your holster is to draw from and where it is to re-holster your weapon.
@@chukwunenyennebe4883 I tend to agree about re holstering but I do understand those who want to check their holster for obstructions especially appendix carriers. I carry at 3:30 & sweep my hand over the holster to clear it first but I might think differently if the gun was pointed at my femoral artery instead of my caboose. The other thing about bent knees is that any street or combat fighter or any properly trained martial artist will instantly spot a straight or locked knee for the weakness it is & use it accordingly if close enough.
@@bjdog42 good point about the appendix carry concerns, though the slow but "fast" holstering with a good holster and a finger of the trigger should lessen the concerns for the femoral artery. You're spot on regarding clearing the holster, it seems intuitive now that you mention it but to be honest it didn't cross my mind until not. Good chat!
@@chukwunenyennebe4883 funny how "intuitive" stuff is often missed until pointed out. I've missed things myself the same way until someone made me aware of them. Glad you got something from it, nice talking to you too.
Great instruction and I really appreciate all the videos that you produce, very helpful for us new to firearms. Just one comment about the portion showing moving before drawing. Step 2 is shown as a vertical move both times as opposed to the horizontal move depicted during the instruction portion.
Hi, I just adore how mechanical you are which just drills in the muscle memory. I taught ballroom and Salsa which one needs to commit to muscle memory, I have sent a copy of your leggings vlog to my ex dance coach. Thanks I really enjoy your channel.
I am learning so much from your channel! You two are the dynamic duo! You two work so well together - great to watch you both. Great pointing out John Correa's ASP channel - for real life situations/lessons.
I play the guitar, so I understand taking steps to learn where your fingers go; then comes speed. Practice, practice. My question is: At what step (#) do I take off my safety? # 2 or # 3? I'm kinda hoping that you give consideration to those who use a Safety in your training videos. Thanks.
Excellent and right on time video! As a first grader now to guns, I so needed this. Our ranges are closed also, and I can't shake the thought of how would I get my gun drawn to defend myself - wait bad guy let me get my gun? One good thing, our range now offers a class on how to draw and you get to practice on the range. I also have a waistband holster and this will help me not be a befuddle drawer. I am decent at hand to hand and unfortunately had to use that in 1983 when 2 men attempted to attack me (wife of Vietnam War Veteran - mandatory hand maneuvers came in handy that day). It was their day of regret! Thank you for sharing.
Wow sounds scary! I'm glad you're ok after that encounter. Start practicing that draw and make sure you go slow! Speed will come. The most important thing, like Mac mentions, is to be smooth.
You are an awesome tandem. I appreciate your outstanding content. I am learning a lot from you. Thank you. So many great nuances in this lesson. The last point about movement is true in all athletic endeavors. Martial arts taught me the importance of good footwork, and how to create proper distancing, spacing, and shifting so that you can elude an opponent and position yourself to counterattack quickly. So much begins with feet. When I coached my daughter’s basketball teams I would tell the girls that basketball starts here (pointing to their heads) and here (pointing to their feet). The hands often follow the feet.
Thank you so much for putting on these videos. I discovered your channel 6 months ago As always I learn a lot I will continue to watch your channel as much as I can
My wife is considering getting her own ccw permit and I wanted your comments on the advisability of wearing a big silver ring on your trigger finger along with white fingernail polish on long fingernails in the event of a gun battle. It seems to me that in addition to being highly reflective and showing where your hands and gun are, the nails and ring could get caught up in your clothes or weapon when attempting a fast draw. Your teaching and analysis are commendably detailed so these questions are appropriate in my opinion. I am working with my wife on ccw issues and these are legitimate concerns of mine. Thanks!
Great video once again.my range does not allow holster draw so this will be what will train at home. Im glad to watch this because once again since i have not done it. I know have a proper learning reference from you. Thank you.
Thank you for this video! I have ordered a good holster and currently have a sticky, which makes it harder to practice the draw. A quick note though. Some states such as mine allow open carry on your own property. This will allow me to practice in my back yard where I can take multiple steps in all directions.
@@SheEquipsHerself what kind of jeans are they? New to this channel, patiently waiting for CCW permits to come in , thinking she's gonna be alot from this channel. .. we both will
So happy I found you! Although I’ve had my LTC for 5 years, working with our PD, I recently purchased my first handgun (ez shield 380) and want to learn more about concealed carry procedures. Your videos are awesome. Thank you!
Love your teaching. Your more better than some of the instructor guys I watch. Keep up the good work. You actually have me thinking about the way I draw now which is good, always room for improvement especially defending yourself. Oh, and your guy is funny,😁😁 when he looked around as you were stepping to the side his eyes were looking around also like he was actually in the situation while keeping his eye on you. Good stuff✌
ASP is good. I love his "room temperature challenge" expression. This is good. Good instruction on the round in the chamber. If every gun is loaded, then every gun is loaded.
Just got my M&P about a month ago and am moving past just shooting and getting to learning technique and have A Long Way To Go...lol... Thanks for the videos
Thank you guys so much for this video. Ive just completed my CC and awaiting my permit. This was so helpful to me as a new gun owner. Will start practicing right away. Keep up the great work. Subcribed.
Hi! Hoping you see this...I want to get a thigh holster. Which one do you use? There are mixed reviews on every brand. Do you use a garter belt as well? Thanks for all the awesome videos 👏👏👏
This was sooo helpful and easy to understand! Im getting my first handgun very soon, so doing a lot of research in the meantime. Thank y'all for doing this! Just subscribed 😊
Hi, thank you for this very informative video. I just received my CCW permit and want to hopefully start carrying with confidence. My question is, should I purchase a holster and practice at home? I was thinking of a class for this.
Really enjoyed the video. Decided to subscribe. This video is for anyone who doesnt want to be assaulted, beaten, murdered etc. Its a good common sense video. By the way i've been a subscriber to john for a while. Thank you both and be safe.

Great video, proper hold on the gun is so important.
Thank you so much for putting on these videos. I discovered your channel 6 months ago
As always I learn a lot
I will continue to watch your channel as much as I can
Loved this video....this video was very informative to me, Thanks’
Really good material and presentation by both of you. Like your teamwork approach.
My wife is considering getting her own ccw permit and I wanted your comments on the advisability of wearing a big silver ring on your trigger finger along with white fingernail polish on long fingernails in the event of a gun battle. It seems to me that in addition to being highly reflective and showing where your hands and gun are, the nails and ring could get caught up in your clothes or weapon when attempting a fast draw. Your teaching and analysis are commendably detailed so these questions are appropriate in my opinion. I am working with my wife on ccw issues and these are legitimate concerns of mine. Thanks!
Great video once again.my range does not allow holster draw so this will be what will train at home. Im glad to watch this because once again since i have not done it. I know have a proper learning reference from you. Thank you.
Thanks Irish Rose! I'm so glad you liked it. The nice thing about draw practice is you can do it FOR FREE, AT HOME!!
Yes Stav this is true. I will be implementing this into my training..for free. Tee hee.
Im practicing this now i have a kydex im using. Yay. I like yours and im going to order soon
So incredibly valuable! Thank you for putting this out there for all 🙏🏼
Thank you for this video! I have ordered a good holster and currently have a sticky, which makes it harder to practice the draw. A quick note though. Some states such as mine allow open carry on your own property. This will allow me to practice in my back yard where I can take multiple steps in all directions.
So very much help. Thank you!
Very helpful. Highly appreciated.
Loved the video, and also to the holster and equipment, also love the jeans ,
Thanks so much!! I love these jeans too :) One of my most comfy pairs!
@@SheEquipsHerself what kind of jeans are they?
New to this channel, patiently waiting for CCW permits to come in , thinking she's gonna be alot from this channel. .. we both will
So happy I found you! Although I’ve had my LTC for 5 years, working with our PD, I recently purchased my first handgun (ez shield 380) and want to learn more about concealed carry procedures. Your videos are awesome. Thank you!
Thanks to both of you, for making this video!!! The break down is wonderful and much appreciated as I am new to carrying concealed!!
This was extremely helpful. Thank you.
Any chance you could do a video drawing out of a handbag?
Thank you so very much for this information for this new gun owner at 65 years old.
Beautiful wedding and beautiful couple! Congratulations!
Love your teaching. Your more better than some of the instructor guys I watch. Keep up the good work. You actually have me thinking about the way I draw now which is good, always room for improvement especially defending yourself. Oh, and your guy is funny,😁😁 when he looked around as you were stepping to the side his eyes were looking around also like he was actually in the situation while keeping his eye on you. Good stuff✌
ASP is good. I love his "room temperature challenge" expression. This is good. Good instruction on the round in the chamber. If every gun is loaded, then every gun is loaded.
Loved this! Super great tips! Keep up the good work!
Thanks Charlotte! Thanks so much for watching!!
HI MACK!!!!
Edit: I’ve been watching active self protection for a few years now. Couldn’t recommend that channel highly enough.
Also, he’s tall!!

Hi, thank you for this very informative video.
I just received my CCW permit and want to hopefully start carrying with confidence. My question is, should I purchase a holster and practice at home? I was thinking of a class for this.
Do you answer questions related to concealed carry?
Another great video, thanks.
Great video!!
