Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - Quick draw on Open Class weapons? Any suggestions?

Hey guys,

Just wanted to get some input on some quickdraw techniques from an holstered position specifically in an open class shooting competing and in-game where you have a primary drawn but need to switch to the secondary pistol.

Suggested stances?
Suggested trigger pull weight?
Suggested holster?
Fast target acquisition techniques?
Cmore/MRDS vs iron sights?
Wrist rotation techniques?
Breathing techniques?
etc...

I timed myself last night with an average of about 2.5seconds on a REACTIVE side as opposed to being the instigator (<==the guy who shoots first). And I can't get any faster at it. I've been doing some exercises over the past couple of weeks of target acquisition and wrist techniques with Glocks and 1911 with various sight pictures and I can't break the 2.5 mark. Shot accuracy is fairly consistent but I can still fine tune my gun with a few upgrades.

I suppose in a Shooting competition your always on the reactive-quick-to-the-gun side but in a game where your primary fails (hypothetically speaking) and your opponent has a bead on you first and puts you in a reactive state, what techniques do you employ for a fast draw?

I'm running one of those taco holsters with Glocks and open-class basic 1911.

Any suggestions?
