No, not really suitable for Open Division, due to the RD mount and dot. I grab the rear part of the grip at the magwell. See 11:30 in this video: ua-cam.com/video/88WGWRv5pao/v-deo.html
@@ipsc-guru I tried it more than a few times last night and I have to say that I found it much easier to transfer the gun as I have full access to the grip from my strong hand. My only reservation is that there is the potential to sweep your hand if you come up from too low but practice might make perfect. BTW, between watching your videos, reading Ben Stoeger’s books and practicing what I’ve learnt, I managed to move from “D” grade to “B” grade this past weekend, so thank you.
Hi Vince, I actually did ask him :-) In practical shooting there are often times many different techniques to accomplish the same end result and besides the objective time and points, another - more subjective - factor comes into play, i.e. how it feels to the individual shooter. In this case the shooter feels more comfortable drawing the gun and getting a more direct and instantly better WH grip, which leads to better overall results. But, as I said, it's very individual.
@@ipsc-guru I see where my mind was going. IPSC Production permits race holsters in Production so you can easily grasp the slide from the top. USPSA does not permit race holsters in Production. I wondered why when experimenting that there was no way I was going to grab my pistol from the holsters allowed in USPSA.
Is this a widely used technique or it it new? I'd hate to think it's being used and I didn't even notice it in practice. I'm going to try it on my next dry fire.
Hi, I don't think this is a widely used technique, nor do I think it is new. I saw it a couple of times in Action Air IPSC matches, but not yet in IPSC. I thought it was interesting enough to analyze it and make a video about it. As with any technique, it's good to try it out, see how it feels and if it has a positive impact on time and points. DVC
Ty sir helps me a lot..
Interesting. Is this how you transfer to the weak hand from a draw?

@@Sydneywizard Great to hear, congratz!!!
I'd like to hear what his reasoning was for this different methodology.

Correct, the holster rules in IPSC are indeed different and prevent using this alternative technique in USPSA.
