I'm new to training with my handgun. I shoot it well at the range, but have never drawn from a holster and shot. Now that I'm interested in CCing, I want and need that training. To that end, I've spoken with an NRA instructor (but have not taken a class) about draw and dry-fire practice. He suggested I do some research into 1) good draw technique and 2) good dry-fire practice.
In some searches here on TFL, I came across this post which had some great step-by-step directions as to how to draw a pistol from a holster. My question is whether or not there are any other techniques or if this is considered the best technique? Are there some good dry-fire practice tips you would recommend with this sort of drawing practice? Is draw practice, (safe) target acquisition, then dry-fire with solid trigger control a good place to start? All of this, of course, would be unloaded, with ammunition in a different room.
As you could imagine, while I've gotten good at bringing my pistol up from the ready position, acquiring my target downrange, then pressing the trigger, I've never done that from a holster, hence the need for draw, acquire, press.
Thanks for your help.
