Because unlike riding a bike, safe gun handling skills are perishable, if not practiced regularly. Regular practice attains and maintains proficiency.

Practice makes perfect.

I moved from NE to NJ and all I have is a blue gun and a IWB holster. To rent a gun buy ammo (at the range) is about $70! So practicing keeps my up on my skills and saves cash!

The 6 P's...proper practice prevents piss poor performance...

can never be too prepared for the deadly encounter

Practice makes perfect

Because drawing from concealment is the best representation of the real-life scenario that you will face in self-defense situations. If you can't do this reliably you may not survive when it counts.

I practice CC draws while dry firing at home and then when at the outdoor range.

You have to know your system, and practice is the only way.

if you need to draw, you don't have time to fumble around. practice when your life isn't on the line and you can create muscle memory

So as to develop "Muscle Memory" for the drawing technique.

It is always best to practice what you want to learn when you are not under pressure. You can do it very slowly at first, then you can increase your speed as you find yourself getting better.

muscle memory can save your life when under extreme duress

Practice makes fast and permanent. When under stress, I want to be able to draw and hit my target (thug) without having to think about what I need to do. MY LIFE depends on it.

If I don't practice, I won't be ready when I need it.

I was taught most altercations where you have to draw your weapon happen from 4-7 yards and you normally don't have much time to aim down the sights, so thats why I train from the hip.

to get better at it if the need arises.

because if I ever do have to pull my weapon I want to be sure I can.

Practice makes perfect :-)

You must be proficient in all forms of retrieving your sidearm for basic protection.

Muscle memory.

That is where the gun is.

Practice makes perfect. In stressfull situations you will make mistakes without practice.

That way you know exactly how to do it when something happens. The more you practice the better prepared for the unknown

Taught to train the way I'd have to shoot by old school instructor years ago the highly grammatically challenged " Muscle memory" it works!!

Practice makes better

Import to train myself for the situation. Accuracy shooting is also part of my regime. I pair the two for balanced, effective training.

A defensive situation doesn't arise very often when you have your weapon drawn and at the ready.

I carry concealed so I carry for protection and practice for perfection. You must try something 3000 times roughly before it becomes second nature. That way when the time comes it just happens.

Being skilled using firearms is a continuous process - with a lot of repetition - the only was to develop muscle memory.....play the 'what if' scenario. Of course, I only practice draws @ right time.

I do practice some, but nowhere near enough.

It is important to develop muscle memory for this action.

Because speed and surety only come together when you have developed your skills. Practice makes perfect!

I wear different shirts, some are longer and some are tighter. Gotta pratice

Because drawing and re-holstering are two of the most dangerous actions one can execute with a loaded firearm. Furthermore, I carry and practice makes perfect.

practice makes perfect

I draw my weapon many times during the day just to make sure everything is ready to go if necessary. each time I draw I actually draw down on something. just for practice.
