What is the proper order of the drawing technique?

The proper order of the drawing technique involves a sequence that ensures the shooter can effectively and safely engage a target. In the correct sequence of "Grab-Draw-Smack-Look and Squeeze," the first step is to secure or grab the firearm, typically by obtaining a proper grip that allows for control and stability. This is critical because it sets the stage for effective drawing.

Next, the draw technique involves smoothly pulling the firearm from its holster, ensuring that drawing is done in a manner that minimizes the chance of accidental discharge. This is followed by the 'smack' or a quick motion to bring the firearm into a position that enables a fluid transition to aiming and firing. The 'look' aspect emphasizes the importance of situational awareness and aiming at the target, and finally, 'squeeze' refers to the technique of gently pulling the trigger to fire the weapon accurately.

This sequence embodies essential safety and operational principles that a shooter must follow to effectively engage in defensive or tactical scenarios. Proper technique enhances both accuracy and safety during firearm handling, which is critical in high-stress environments.
