Long Time Shooter New LTCH

[DBLStack1911]

Well I'm from Warren county Indiana but now live in West Lafayete and I have been a firearm shooter for 25 years. I'm 30 years old and just got my LTCH less than a month ago. I'm carrying everywhere I can. I think I'm doing a pretty good job my wife has to ask if I'm carrying to know. I carry a full size Springfield 1911 double stack at about the 330 position. I have been practicing about everyday drawing/pulling hammer back/ and acquiring a target as smoothly as I can.

Curious as to why you are pulling the hammer back instead of carrying it Locked and Cocked? Do you have one in the chamber?

 

[DBLStack1911]

I do carry one in the chamber at all times. As for not carrying locked I feel more comfortable that way. When practicing I'm working on the draw with not having ammo in the gun incase my finger gets happy.

Be sure that if you are conceal carrying you are practicing drawing from concealment.... if you open carry like alot of us do practice from OC but be sure your weapon is clear before quick drawing and acquiring a target.... I do the triple check and have practiced at the range 500+ hours of draw and double tap with my Glock 30 Good luck to you and welcome

Welcome to INGO.

And please invest in some good training. Carrying your single-action pistol with the hammer down can be disastrous in an adrenaline-dumping "OhMyGodINeedMyGunRightNowThisIsReallyHappeningToMe" moment.
