Hey, SSKC
I'm sure others here will offer better advice, but here is what I worked on when I began to use a sh for driving. Empty pistol, or better yet- a blue gun. Work seated and with the seatbelt on. BTW, do all this in a parked car, huh? No need to get overly realistic just yet! I wear my sh rather low, due to my build and comfort level. It sits low enough that when seated, the bottom of the pistol's grip rests comfortably on my thigh. I worked mainly on grasping the pistol and releasing it, while mainting the other hand on the wheel and eyes focusing on an object (percieved threat) ahead. Ya gotta keep yer hand on the wheel cause a good draw will do you no good wrapped around a phone pole. Also, keep the muzzle pointed safe (your choice-all the way across your torso pointed at the door and down, or straight ahead at the dash) direction. Just not at your legs, package, or passengers. Then, as the situation dictates, get the car stopped, reach UNDER gun arm, and release seatbelt with non gun hand. Bring nongunhand back UNDER gun arm and pop door and use vehicle for cover/concealment. All the while, muzzle awareness is top priority. Or, keep driving and attempt to escape / evade.
Using a sh is pretty much like any other rig as far as practice. Dry fire runs will get the gun out, live fire for the other skills. Put them together when you can.
Hope this has helped a little.
