In this Virtual Girls Night Out, Tatiana Whitlock reviews important considerations for concealed carrying a handgun in winter months.

In this Virtual Girls Night Out, Tatiana Whitlock discusses holster skills, which is the November pistol topic from the AG & AG Shooting Journal.

Maintain a proper grip while placing your pistol in a holster within a purse or bag. If holding your pistol carelessly, the middle finger could slide inside of the trigger guard and result in a negligent discharge. By defaulting to a master grip with the trigger finger in a register position and the rest of the fingers around the grip of the pistol, you exhibit control and safety at all times.

Drawing your pistol from the appendix carry position follows a lot of the same principles of the strong-side holster draw, but there are nuances that are different with this particular carry method. As Tatiana Whitlock explains in the following video, this discussion focuses on the technique of the drawstroke without the additional training considerations of managing cover garments.

There may be times when you need to draw your pistol quickly, but reholstering is to be done slowly and deliberately following these steps.

You have seen it on Instagram, but is it important beyond that? Is it possible? Is it necessary? Why would you need it and how do you get there? Active Self Protection has analyzed thousands of defensive encounters and safe, efficient, accurate draw to first shot is one of the most important and necessary skills you need in a gunfight and it is far more possible than you think. Stephannie and Neil Weidner of Active Self Protection will help you get on target better and faster, whether you’re new or quite experienced. You’ll also learn the path to continue to improve long after the class is over.

Presenting your pistol is extending your arms to put the firearm into your line of sight on the target. In this video, AG & AG Director of Training Tatiana Whitlock explains how to present your pistol safely and consistently.

In this video, Brian Hill teaches you some dry-fire drills that you can do to practice your pistol drawstroke while holding a hand-held light. He walks you through some important factors to consider when working one-handed from concealment or a table.
