Just curious what other people are teaching on this... I've had three formal training classes: Texas Pistol Academy, Chris Grollnek (former Marine Force Recon), and Tac-Pro Shooting Center.
Texas Pistol Academy did not teach transitions at all on their entry level class. They concentrated mainly on basic marksmans ship and use of a sling as support.
Both Chris Grollnek and Tac-Pro Shooting Center taught maintaining control of the rifle (and the muzzle) with the weak hand and using the pistol strong-hand only. Bill Davison at Tac-Pro Shooting Center taught tucking the rifle under the weak arm specifically. One nice advantage of this was it kept good control of the muzzle and it allowed you to still use any flashlights or lasers mounted to the rifle.
However reading comments on transitions, I often see people complaining about getting smacked in uncomfortable places with a loose dangling rifle, which makes me think that some places are teaching just dropping the rifle and going two hands on pistol.
I was curious what the predominant view on this is in the training community?
