KC135,
I'm not trying to pick a fight. I'm just trying to discuss this issue; so, please understand that I am just asking questions and making points for pure academic purposes here.
Qualifying and gunfighting are two completely different things. It would seem to me that crossdraw would take longer to get on target with than straight draw. Do you have any time comparisons for first shot times from the draw from the two carry positions.
When I draw, I bring my strong hand with the gun together with my support hand directly in front of my torso as if I were clapping hands and form my two handed shooting grip. I then drive the pistol towards the target and pick up the front sight slightly before my arms are extended so that I can break the shot as my arms fully extend. In an emergency, I can break the shot before full extension.
How are you presenting the the firearm to the target? Where in the drawstroke are you obtaining your two-hand shooting grip? It just seems to me that it would take more motion to make the crossdraw because you have to reach across your body, and the presentation of the muzzle to the target seems like it would take longer. This is presuming you are standing centered to the target. If the target is on your oblique the crossdraw may be as fast or faster depending upon which oblique is in question.
Once again, I am asking for my own edification and not trying to pick a fight.
While I'm not a "nationally" known instructor (unless you count these forums in which case I'm internationally known

), I am a certified law enforcement firearms instructor and have taught officers from all over my region of the state.
On another note, I am interested in the Hume JIT holster. I have a few questions about it as I have considered obtaining one for my 4006. I don't want to sidetrack this thread, but does it have a sight rail sewn into it? I can't tell from the pics. Have you ever had the front sight snag when drawing. Feel free to PM the answers to me if you even care to answer.
