That really made an impression on me at an early stage that if I was going to be carrying a gun, I had better be able to hit what I'm aiming at. Pretty low threshold, but it did a lot to cement my belief in training and at least being a minimum level of proficient for my own comfort. I HATE hitting no shoots on stages.
So you're saying you adopted Russian SWAT standards early on but have shifted to a more conventional American approach since?

Typically, if I add a new wardrobe item, I will make sure I can draw the thing and present without snagging or other weird things happening.

I only carry the same pistol (G43) w/ same holster (HBAR OWB), so I don't have a need to go back and forth on training due to multiple setups.
