Why is it Important to Practice Drawing From Concealment?

Many are under the impression that concealed carriers are people who grew up around guns and are totally comfortable with them. The reality is concealed carry permit holders aren’t necessarily expert gun users. People have a whole host of different reasons for carrying a concealed weapon. Some carry just to express their 2nd Amendment right, while others might live in a dangerous neighborhood and fear for personal safety. It could be a newly single mother who wants the means to protect her family, and the list goes on.

These groups are often new to guns, and especially concealed carrying. They still have to get used to things like the feel of a gun in their hand, the weight of the gun in their holster, what it feels like to pull the trigger, and what recoil feels like. Most will head to the gun range for some practice and instruction, unfortunately the importance of drawing a weapon proficiently often gets overlooked.

Accuracy towards target is what most new carriers focus on. While accuracy is important, you can only hit the target if you get your weapon out in time. Drawing your weapon at the range is 100% different than drawing from concealment in a real life situation.
