Great video my brother in blue

[@corynorell3686]

Seems like a downward angle is going to do a hell of a lot more damage than a clean shot at a distance.

What would you have to change with this drill if you are hip carrying as opposed to appendix carry?

[@Battlefieldtripshow]

It's honestly easier. With the draw from appendix, you're actually having to alter your presentation by bringing it back rather than moving directly to the high compressed position (which is partially the whole appeal of appendix carry) If you're carrying strongside hip, you're already drawing almost directly into the thumb pectoral index position.
I don't know if I'm explaining it as well as Craig would himself, I'm paraphrasing but I recall that's more or less what he stated in class.

[@choss7836]

Nothing, you draw the same,or at least you should.

[@EvolvinEvo]

Curious about doing this left handed, probably good chance of inducing a malfunction, is there different index point and angle with the left hand? Also what kind of holster is Craig using?

[@kobuksonhwacha]

AppendixCarryOG Shooting left handed, the flagged thumb becomes even more critical because it creates necessary standoff between the body and slide so spent brass can eject. Craig is using a Keepers Concealment Keeper holster, G17 length with a split belt loop.

Can this be classified as point shooting?

We're not sure who needs to hear this, but:
You have not taken ECQC because you watched videos on ECQC.
That is all.
