Slow, steady are the way to go.
Prior to joining the SO I had never practiced drawing my pistol. My carry had been strickly military with the standard flap holster or hunting.
When I joined the force I started practicing. I concentrated on the individual steps in the process. Grasp the weapon, activate the thumb break, draw the weapon, grasp with weak hand, align sighte, fire the weapon.
I never tryed for speed. My training officer was considered the fastest in the department.
The first time we did a felony stop we both exited our squad car. My weapon just appeared on target. I was about half a second faster than my partner.
Effectively train your muscles and the speed will come.
