3 ways to draw a pistol - competition style 

Great video! I'm a USPSA C Class CO shooter and your videos are very informative and inspiring since I shoot a Rival Darkside. Aloha from Hawaii's 2A community 🤙🏾

Well shucks Nils, when I talked to you at Frost proof nationals a few years back, I was a new shooter at the age of 66 and you teased me in a nice way about a stage a blew. I can't find anything here to tease you about. Very, very nice. Thanks,. Bill

When you watch Nats footage, Nils has the best draws out there.

Get out of here nils! So good man… the indexing on the draw I’ve never thought about…. This gives me so much to aspire to

I was surprised that the scoop draw was faster than the "standard" draw, thank you for putting out these videos it's much appreciated by all of us USPSA types trying to get better😊👍🏾

Super cool video. It was neat to see the difference in times between the snatch and scoop draws.

Always a pleasure to learn from the best! Keep em coming 🙏🏼

Man how light is that spring? You make that over the top reload look so effortless. I've only been a part of the 2a community for 3 years.

Always cool stuff coming from you. Keep em videos coming! Thanks for sharing.

I'm always afraid that I'm going to throw the gun, when I try to do that scoop draw. I just always slam my hand down on the beavertail, and then draw it out of the holster. I just did my first match of the season, and the first time I did open division. It was malfunction town for me today, sadly. I just use minor power factor, so I tried swapping out the comp for the front sight block, and it worked better after that. I don't know if I just need to clean it more or what. I want to get into reloading and load my own major power ammo, but people at the match said I probably need to get my barrel reamed for longer overall cartridges.

You inspire me to train hard

But wait I’m appendix! Last year I was doing sub one second draw from appendix but my grip was falling apart during transitions. So I realized I was sacrificing a good grip for a speed draw. Now my draw is slow like 1.4 and I’m really struggling to get it back down to sub 1.2 which is my cold goal with a solid repeatable grip. I need to put in the work and instead I just keep beating myself up and keeping myself in this slump. I’ll get it back I just need to buckle down and focus. To be clear on one thing my grip overall is more solid from the draw now so my transitions and double taps are faster and more accurate. So the trade off was worth it but I still have a goal that I’d like to get to off 1.2, I just need to work at it.

I can’t keep anything controlled under a .90 draw - always a snatch as I dropped my gun a few times in dryfire trying to fast scoop and now I’m afraid of it :(

Can you do a grip and stance video

Could you post a video about what modifications did you do on your rival? For example, what recoil spring did you use?

Great vid bud. Quick question what range is that?

More educational video and grip technique pls

It’s faster in person!

That is awesome! Great information... Where is the Black Rival-s

Me over here with my peasantry 1.20 draw

Ok that’s super cool looking and everything, but can you do that concealed from appendix with targets shooting back at you? #GetYouKilledOnTheStreetz #TrainLikeYouFight #ConditionRedALWAYS #SoBlessed🙏

I have a new rival s I shoot uspsa and idpa who makes a good holster?
