Ive noticed that whenever I see the President on television the Secret Service is right behind holding their hands in what looks like a pose. Generally in front, above their waste and tightly to their stomach usually balled up into a fist. Also to note I never see them smile.
Is this some type of technique in order to react quicker hand to hand or is it a technique to draw faster? Im taking that its a position in which they can react quickest. It shaves off milliseconds of time to push, grab or shove the threat away. They probably have their pistol right inside the jacket thus their hands would be closer to it as well and guarding the entry to their jacket so someone cant grab the pistol.
Lets say I perceive or suspect a threat is close. Of course, Im going to distance myself from it as a first step, but also pre position my hands in a ready position and that war face lacking the smile might be helpful too...
