One thing that immediately springs to mind is the relative joy of practicing this with an unloaded gun.

 

[ytcoleman]

yes bruce..number one rule!

 

[Glock 23 Nutter]

Yes, w/ an unloaded/weighted pistol...

Try to out-draw yourself in a full length mirror.

When you actually do? You'll be good-ta-go.


Until then... Practice.

be the matrix huh?wow

Assuming draw for civilians during concealed carry.
1) Practice with an unloaded weapon.
2) Finger off the trigger till your target is in your sights.
3) Dress as you would on the street and practice drawing with that clothing.
4) If not LE, consider losing the retention straps/devices.

Some martial arts training wouldn't hurt either.
Smooth and fluid motion is a good thing.

To quick draw you need 2 things:
1. Training - learn to draw correctly, so that you have the gun in a proper strong-hand shooting grip before it leaves the holster. That means you also have to learn a proper shooting grip.

2. Practice - practice that proper draw, exactly as you learned it, until it becomes fast.

"Fast draw" is not a technique you can learn like a trick (excluding some techniques that only apply to cowboy single action revolvers). It is just drawing, fast. There is no shortcut - you have to learn to draw and then learn to do it fast.

So, let me repeat - actually learn to draw (you can't learn it on the internet and you NEVER will). Then practice until it's fast.

Also, if the 3 times I repeated this above didn't get the message across, remember the saying: Practice DOES NOT make perfect; only perfect practice makes perfect.

+1
Learn how to draw properly and practice, practice, practice.
IMHO natural fluid motion, from quality repetition, is the real secret to speed.
That's how martial arts works and a handgun is just a weapon.

OP- Any opinion on a blue gun? I have one of the unweighted ones in a G26 pattern for practicing with a sticky holster. Not exactly a quick set up.

I'm probably just reinforcing bad habits though.

Amen to that. When I get a holster, I practice drawing hundreds, even thousands of times with my normal clothing, in front of a full length mirror. Unloaded, of course

Try Bill Jordan's "No Second Place Winners".

He must have been pretty good at it. He sold a lot of books on it even after killing some one demonstrating it with an unloaded gun. He's got some interesting drills on dry firing to.

 

[strangerjames]

If it's for defensive purposes...
Practice drawing (unloaded) on your back, while sitting, other unconventional positions, spin around till you're disoriented, blah blah blah.

Drawing and shooting in ideal conditions is one thing. Drawing when you're trying to block getting punched in the face while losing your footing is another.

#1 Go get some professional training. Drawing fast is easy but you should be taught to do it correctly.

#2 Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast.

#3 New guys try to disprove #2.

 

[Clusterfrack]

Yes, the best solution is training. It takes a lot of work to draw quickly and still get good hits.
