thanks for all the inputs so far. I myself slightly squint my left eye to get clearer front sight when doing "flash" front sight and pushing for sub 1 second with plates at 10 yards and beyond. Never knew that squinting can "undo" eye dominance and let the other eye take over. I should have them try that next. FWIW, for weak hand shooting, I completely close my right eye and have been able to sling lead very fast and still maintain surgical accuracy ie. the Roger's shooting school weak hand stage, 10-8 drill, and CSAT standard # 6

preferrably, but not necessarily. Just to do whatever needed to meet the drill standards, while still relevant to two-way range application

distance wise, not sure how that results in faster draw. I mean there are longer distance from the rail to holster than from pistol grip to holster regardless of type of holster of location. You sure it wasn't just the other guys being slower? Kiddin! Just kiddin!
I've managed to get one 38A do it in 1.48 seconds from rifle click to pistol click. Economy of motion all the way. Dry run though....so probably with live rounds there will be no hole on the A zone at all hehehe
