OK, I can shoot all day long without any damage to my hands, BUT when I practice draw-and-shoot I often wear a nasty sore spot into my strong-hand nuckle on my thumb after 50 draws or so (the big joint at the base of my thumb).
Obviously this is happening because when I draw the gun from the holster I am not getting an entirely proper grip. It's a bit off due to being drawn from a holster so close to my body. If I think about it I can correct the grip before shooting, but this seems like time wasted which I wouldn't want to do in a SHTF situation.
Strangely, my accuracy is not terribly affected by the difference between my draw-and-shoot grip vs. my better grip when I am holding the gun.
So, am I alone in having this problem? Do you folks manage to draw your guns with a good and proper grip? Anyone have any hints about what they might be doing to accomplish this?
I carry OWB on my right hip. Here's a pic. Thanks for any advice.
