I know, I know! You tried it didn't you!cmidkiff said:Guy's hand speed was fast enough to overcome the recoil spring of a G17? That is rather difficult to believe. Not that I doubt you, but that would be _very_ tough.
Maybe so. I'm planning to go to the range tomorrow or Friday and I'm going to see how fast I can draw starting with my grip on the gun.Subahaba said:If the tests were done from LE "interview" position, I believe it's doable by a competant shooter. No cover garment, bladed to the target,weak hand up and out at chest level, and strong hand with a firing grip/holster open.
That said, the sub .5 times are exceptional!
Tangle said:I was a little curious about the phrase, "...weak hand up and out at chest level...". If I understand this correctly, if the weak hand is up and out at chest level, wouldn't that put the support hand in front of the gun and introduce the possibility of the muzzle sweeping the support hand?
Should have been clearer about this, sorry. The support hand is "palm"out, about chest level, just foward of and ouside the support side shoulder.
Picture standing bladed to the target and raising your hand [ss]from the elbow
to a position similar to "stop!"[or How as in cowboys and indians]. If the SHTF
and the decision is made to go to guns, just roll the hand inward while pulling in to chest or abdomen. [ sort of a reverse "Hail Ceasar " move] From the interview position you are keeping the weapon shielded from the "threat", while being able to thrust out W/ the ss hand if needed to block or push. If the weapon is used, it is fired strong hand only as you rotate on target just above the holster. Close contact retention.
With practice it is very fast, bad breath to 5yds. I hope I'm clearing it up, but I have a mind/keyboard problem
