The faster the sights are level in front of the eyes, the faster you will be able to make an aimed hit. So, if the need for a visual index exists, I want to draw my gun straight up to my eye-line with my muzzle a little high (pretty much inside the workspace).
From there, the sights are aligned, the gun is pushed to full extension, and the trigger is pressed, simultaneously. The shortest distance between two points is a straight line, the key is knowing which two points to connect. It doesn’t do much good to throw the gun from holster to full extension if you don’t have the visual reference you need and are waiting on that reference to begin trigger press.
That’s one of the best and shortest explanations of both the how and why of a proper press-out you’ll ever see.

Any chance you could post a video of a proper press-out from holster to firing? Thanks!
You can see video of Todd performing a draw (with the press out) at this link:
I never thought of this until I attended an Isights class last weekend. With the gun at the high ready, we focused on a target or point on a wall and brought the gun into our line of sight and on target.
