I was shooting a steel match last Saturday. I was on my first stage getting ready to start my last string. Ro said stand by and i heard the Beep my mind said go and next thing I know my gun is tumbling on the ground. When I was drawing my gun the front sight caught my holster and tumbled out. Ro stopped me as I knew was going to happen He picked up the gun cleared it out and put it in my holster. I'm very thankful that it did not go off. I shoot a double action pistol so the hammer was in decock position.

I was so furious at myself. The night before I was practicing my draw and trying to speed up a little. I now come to understand that i just need to slow and relax and let the motion flow.

Dryfire / livefire practice is the time to push the speed limit. During matches though, good grip and solid draws are what's needed. Sorry about your DQ.

Bummer about the DQ, I am very glad that nothing bad happened. Sounds like you have the right attitude, you made a bad mistake and you are going to learn from it, you could shoot with me anytime. Keep your chin up.
