Without meaning to brag, I am very good with the Single Action. I can get off my shots in very quick order, shots that are .45 Caliber and 250 grains of bullet. And my Single Action is a New Model Ruger Blackhawk, so six rounds is at my disposal. My gun is concealed by a jacket or vest, so I retain the element of surprise.
My draw starts with elbowing my covering garment back with the elbow of my shooting arm and grasping the gun butt. I lift the gun up cocking the hammer as I do so, level the barrel and press the trigger. Here is my gun rig:
I'm very confident with my outfit, as is my wife. First of all, we are aware of our surroundings, and steer clear of potentially dangerous situations in which we are obviously outnumbered. When stopping at traffic lights, etc., I maintain clearance around my vehicle so as not to be "boxed in." When refueling my Jeep, I am very observant as to who is in my vicinity, where they are, and how many. More than two, if they look possibly threatening, I move on.
I DO NOT use my off hand for cocking the hammer, nor do I practice that way. As to the two-hand hold in the video, fine if your target is five to seven yards away. My practice is usually having your opponent in-your-face-close. Seldom will an attacker begin his move any distance from you. He is counting on surprise.
