One word - revolvers. If you're going to carry a semi auto for "business use" then you need to have it gone through for reliability by a smith. If it does not fed fire and eject 100% then don't carry it. Revolvers. Big bore. But seriously, the answer to your question is repetition and practice. Do it until it becomes just like reaching in your pocket for your keys. You don't think about it, your hand just does it. I love 1911s more than anybody and shot them for years in USPSA but I won't carry one because I've seen how many little things can make one stop working. I've also shot S&W revolvers for years nad never had one fail.
