3 Techniques For Clearing Cover Garments

One part of concealed carry that trips up a lot of people is clearing your cover garment from the gun.

It can get caught up on the butt of your gun, you can grab a hand-full of cover garment as you’re drawing, or cover can block your draw all together.

So, today, I’ve got a video from Beau Doboszenski on 3 different techniques for clearing cover. The rake, double rake, and single hand.

In an ideal world, you’d only need one.  I my world, where reality gets in the way and temperatures range from below zero to over 100, I need all 3.

You can watch the video and read more now by clicking on the image above.

You’ll see how to practice all 3 drawstrokes so that they overlap as much as possible.

Why’s that important?

Because most people don’t have time to learn several different techniques and the more they overlap, the faster you can learn them.
