I want you to remember this simple phrase: elbow up, elbow down.

The lower your hand is around the grip of the revolver, the more the recoil will push the gun up instead of back, which... Do not yet place your finger on the trigger. Hip shooting is just that easy. As you undo any safety features your holster has, you draw the handgun out while raising your elbow up. Once the gun has cleared the holster, you drop your elbow straight down into your side, pointing the gun straight ahead at the intended target.
