In reply to Gail Roma. I'm interested in other carrying positions. Concealability, comfort, and access: choose 2. That's how I feel. I do appendix carry right now, and I'm skinny; nothing works very well.

In reply to Bill. Bill, I think you meant,"so you don't have to think about it when your doing it. It's a battle drill, You do it so it becomes an automatic reaction.

20 years ago as a LEO instructor, I had them run as fast as they could 50 yards to the firing line. Surprising results. They hated me.

I like the suggestion about dialing 911 with the weak hand. I never thought of that. Here is another suggestion: Practice drawing and re-holstering while sitting down. You’ll see exactly why Wild Bill Hickok wore his guns backward.

Also, I suggest that people train in different conditions. Train in the bitter cold, train when you have a headache, train when you are exhausted, you get the idea. If the day comes when you have to use your weapon, it won’t be perfect conditions.

Another thing that you don’t see anyone talking about is keeping your gun hand free. When I went to the Maine Criminal Justice Academy back in 83, if you were caught with anything in your strong hand, you had to carry a brick around all day in your weak hand as a reminder.

Great ideas! The only problem is finding a spot to do this type of training. While I was a young private, I asked the question, why we had to keep doing the same thing over and over and over. So that you do have to think about it when it happens was the answer I received.

Train as you fight, fight as you train.
