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

Sorry. I should have been more clear.

2.5 seconds is the AVERAGE time it takes for me to go from a reaction point to the first trigger pull.

My off hand is what reacts first. It moves towards my dominant hand who is reaching for the release on the holster. My dominant hand grips the pistol as high up on the pistol grip as possible. The grip isn't a crushing grip but it's not a relaxed grip either. The pistol is pulled out of the holster in a parallel motion to the side of the mody and I use my wrist to begin pointing the muzzle before my elbows punches forwards. As the gun reaches punches forward, my off hand comes to grip the opposite side of the pistol. Thumb over thumb. Then I sight in and pull the trigger.

It takes me a bit more longer coming from an unholstered situation wherein, the gun is laying on the table unloaded, safety engaged, hammer up. I saw a few youtube videos where they did this and I wanted to try.

For the in-game scenario, the transition from rifle to secondary generally takes me about 2.15sec since I find I didn't really aim the same way as I did in a quick draw in the IPSC World. And most of the time I find myself having to continue to hold my primary (even though it's on a one point sling) because it tends to drop over my workspace.

The following of targets are a bit troublesome because of the aforementioned problem with my eyes. but I'm slowly learnding to quickly snap in and out of a "zone" as exercises.
THe worst part is i tend to WANT to go back to a bladed stance to accomodate the "one eye open" thing. But practice is what make perfect.

I have been interested in IPSC for a long while now and had plans to build a Hi-cap in the future. BUT my job always has me moving from one place to the next. That and I was somewhat intimidated at first. I am originally from Toronto though so I know my way around there. I will definitely try and make a point to come one your guys' CAPS events.

Seems I just stepped into a whole new world. Exciting. I thank you guys for all the input.
