Nah. Covid hasn't slowed my retirement training at all. I'm getting pretty damn proficient at it.

You ever try cross draw? I've always felt that my first shot accuracy improves with cross draw (and a little training). Maybe it's because I am pretty portly and cross draw puts me much closer to the target much sooner due to diminished distance?

Nope, never tried it it's too slow. I draw from the right (am right handed) and all my mags are on the left (six of them). Besides, the muzzle would be pointing backwards when the gun is drawn and I'd get DQ'd.

So you cross draw your mags but not the pistol? Just wonderin'

I'm so right handed that I HAVE to transfer the mag to my right hand for insertion. I'm sure that's not how you do it. I'm so left eyed that my left is on the butt. I'm a hot mess with a pistol according to most.

The muzzle would be problematic in competition shooting. You could position it straight up (just like on the right) but a with the butt reversed.

My pistol use always involves carry. I way prefer to carry on my left for walking and hand swing.

If I'm at a range I carry the pistol in a bag and set the mags on the bench.

I draw the gun with my right, when mag changes are reqired I drop the mag from the gun (to the ground), pull the new one from the mag pouches on my left, with my left hand, slap it in and off I go. It takes a second or so and is usually done on the run as doing it static wastes time.

Below is my holtser rig with my CZ P-09 in it. I do not shoot competition with this gun but it'll make my point.

Below is a video of me doing a little stage. The mag changes happen mainly off camera though (GoPro is on my head.) You'll see the gun tilt right, that's me opening up the mag-well to my left so I can slam in the mag.
