This lets him instantly grab the cover garment out of the way while drawing from the shoulder holster, because his hands are already hovering inches from the butt in a "resting" position. It also prevents the critter who's the reason you're drawing your gun from seeing large "I'm drawing a gun" movements.<br /><br />For advanced dove position, one gentleman I know plays with his wedding ring, so it looked like a mindless habitual gesture instead of a ready position.On a Wing and a Whimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00754595334684845895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040486715126429420.post-23129151203026818702017-03-16T21:01:37.677-05:002017-03-16T21:01:37.677-05:00Could you please explain "dove position"...Could you please explain "dove position"?

Badges and passes are closely monitored and have lots of rules to be agreed to before getting one. <br /><br />What fun - NOT! <br />I stay away from stuff like that, far, far, away!Jonathan Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10476185257203343474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040486715126429420.post-65077186378626444162017-02-27T10:58:00.182-06:002017-02-27T10:58:00.182-06:00Sorry you had to undergo the annual orgy of self-c...Sorry you had to undergo the annual orgy of self-congratulation, but at least you seem to have found a way to make it fun. :)Rev.
