“In my view, the excerpt [article link above] is a good example of what I call range mentality. The advice is sound if you are only engaging stationary, cardboard targets. In a real fight, you probably won’t have the justification to draw the gun until your assailant is within bad-breath range, at which point, either your so-called support hand or your intended gun hand may already be committed to deflecting his attack. List members who’ve trained with me or have read my book [book link above] will recall that I teach clearing the cover garment with the gun hand. I also recommend carrying at least one gun accessible to either hand. And I remain highly skeptical of anyone who teaches you that you can expect to draw from an ankle holster while still on your feet, when an assailant is charging you.” — Stephen P. Wenger
