After breaking it down and discussing it here and with other very experienced shooters off the board, I've figured out I really can't get my body to do a high retention position. I've got two options, so I'm told. Something called the "old FBI" retention position from the center and essentially point shooting from a much lower position on my strong side. Due to limited mobility in the shoulder/scapula, I can't maintain a straight line between wrist and forearm (elbow in) unless I drop down to around waist high and keep the pistol slightly in front of my body. I know it's not a great retention position, but it's what I have to work with. I'm beginning to call my training at this level "guns for the rest of us," meaning people of all shapes, sizes, gender and limitations.
Does anyone have a link to what this old FBI center retention position looks like? Any opinions/facts on the pros/cons of using a center retention position versus a point shooting position? I carry AIWB so I can get to center very quickly, but I am concerned I may only get one shot off before jamming the gun. Also, wrist and gun will be in poor angle in the center. I'm up for discussion and open to further direction.
For those who don't understand how/why I got here, in this section is another recent thread of mine called "Pointers on shooting from retention."
