DISCLAIMER: I speak as an inexperienced person forming opinions, I don't pretend to know anything for certain, I am not hear to preach I'm here discussion my opinions. I am completely open minded and take no definite stance on either method.
So, I'm still pretty new to drawing pistols. I'm trying different techniques to see which ones make the most sense to me. I hear so many different people offering different advice that its hard to decide. I'm not used to not having a place to "Test Techniques".
In Jiu-Jitsu, when I learn something new I can go apply it right then, live against a resisting opponent? and test it. I can test it over and over and verify effectiveness...with this, its different.
I'll be heading out to an ECQC class soon with my Jiu-jitsu buddies, where you? use live semunition rounds in different scenarios...It will be I'll save my decisions till after I've been to a few of them and can experience simulated situations where I need to draw my pistol and use it. Here is some drills I was doing trying to see how efficiently I could draw my pistol and chamber a round and then I tried a few with it already chambered. (This isn't a show off video or instructional or anything, I'm sure I am doing a million things wrong....so feel free to offer advice)
Practicing Drawing My Glock 23 (Most without a round chamber and a few with one chambered) - YouTube
SAFTEY CHECK: I always remove magazine and check that there is no round in the chamber. I also still make sure that my barrel does not swipe any one in my house while practicing, my wife and kids stay behind me and I point at a wall that has empty rooms behind it and that doesn't face a neighbor.
