This is a great video and great training points. The leading/digging thumb is brilliant. In my humble caveman opinion I would recommend also practicing using your natural weapons to create space or to get an edged/self defense designed weapon into a fight that doesn’t have a gun in it before introducing a gun into it. Then, take it to the next evolution of having your primary pinned/useless and going for your secondary one handed while grappling with a subject. METT-TC.
BP Tactical F03 holster for the win!
I’m an AIWB user, but this holster, positioned as designed excels when used during standup combatives.
