WeaponsPhotos 8

Drawing from an IWB can be entirely different than drawing from your duty holster.

With these variables in mind, let's look at how to draw from an IWB, regardless of where it is located on your belt line. For more, read Drawing from Non-Duty Holsters .

Raise your arms until you bring your weapon up to where you can line up your sights.

Begin to bring your weapon toward the front, keeping it close to your body.

Your first priority is moving the clothing that is concealing your weapon.

As your primary hand is reaching for the weapon, your support hand should simultaneously be grabbing the clothing that is as close to the weapon as possible and getting the material out of the way.

Bring your hands together to firmly grasp the weapon.
