    Well, I tried some practice draws/ fire from my concealed carry holster in everyday clothes today, and forgot about the need for a high neckline to avoid doing the hot brass dance.

    It’s anticlimactic though, because I’m just pretty calm like that, hahahaha.

    I was trying a quick fire with one hand as soon as I cleared the holster. This worked pretty well, except for the brass part. It kept happening, too.

    Overall, I’m not unhappy with how I did. I had to lean back a bit to get at the gun under my breast, and honestly I also wanted to lean back because as I was drawing I didn’t want to lean forward and then have the firearm pointed in towards my pelvis as I draw, ya know?

    I WAS careful not to sweep my hand as I reholstered. From that angle, it does look a little sketchy, but I promise I was careful not to do it.

    I love my trigger finger discipline under pressure. I have to say, I’m pretty good at that, at least.

    I’ll be practicing this again, at a class on Saturday. I’ll wear a better, closed neck top though!

    Well there is that whole Glock thing, but.....
    For a left hander, the only way I know to fix the problem would be to step back with you right foot so your body is not in a postion to catch the brass.

    I find that if I hold the gun so that the extractor is on the left, it doesn't hit me.

    It didn’t burn much. Leaning forward worked because I was lucky enough to have a little section of free space made by the neckline of the sports bra where the brass settled into (as long as I leaned forward) and the brass wasn’t much against skin, thank goodness!

    I’ll just have to push my arm out a little further before pressing the trigger when I shoot this drill again!
