Quick summary of my situation before my issue. CHL going on 2 years. I have gone to .22 Colt Goldcup for marksmanship practice due to cost of bullets. Typically 15-20 minute sessions on home range avg probably 2 times a week. 50-100 rounds. Try to also practice draw from my OWB holster with timer and 8x11 paper targets at typically 20-30 feet for a magazine or two with EDC Glock 30S every other session or so.
So this week my grip on Glock SLIPPED and before I could get support hand fully engaged on gun, I discharged by mistake before fully raised up on target. Scared me; I looked back at what happened, although my support hand was never in front of the gun, it was not solidly placed and made me worry about that, and shooting by some sort of instinct instead of stopping and regrouping before being ON TARGET worried me too - how did THAT happen? Made me stop and think about what I was doing. I think I was so excited trying to beat the clock that I did not follow through properly.
I know I should dry fire draw practice more than I do (admit to only a few draws in maybe 1 session a week with unloaded gun); perhaps that is something I should begin more now?
I am posting here in hopes to hear what I should do different. I know I deserve harsh responses and I am ready to accept them.
Thank you.
