Great thread Gator.

Firearms retention is as important IMO as marksmanship, and tactics. A gun will do you no good if you cant maintain control of it. During my career I have been shown a few different technique.

I strongly suggest that everyone review several, and pick ONE!!! for holstered firearm, and ONE!!! for drawn firearm that works for them. And stick with that one. Practice it, and plan with it.

I dont think you need to spend a bunch of money to learn basic technique. Maybe talk to some police friends, or security people... It's usually fairly easy stuff.
