Shake the Dust Off That Holster – Train With It, Finally
Real-World Standards, Real Indoor Practice
You’ve seen the holster draw stages in your PD qualification, concealed carry training, or open range drills. Timed, controlled, and accurate. What if you could dry-fire them right now—without needing a live-fire session or a shooting bay?
You Can. And You Don’t Need to Modify a Thing.
LaserHIT’s Black Steel Advanced includes exactly what you need for serious holster draw work. It’s already in the app. No extra gear required.
Setting Up a Holster Drill With Black Steel Advanced

One LaserHIT B3 target
Optional: multiple B3-type targets at different scales (1:4, 1:8, 1:16)

What You Can Practice With This Setup
This configuration supports the core fundamentals of holster and concealment draw work:
Low-Ready Engagements
Open Carry Draw
Concealed Carry Draw With Garment Clearance
Shot Under Pressure – first-round urgency with accuracy
Two-Round Strings – control and re-engage speed
One-Hand Transitions – switch between dominant and weak hand
Barricade and Cover – use prone, kneeling, sitting, standing positions by utilizing the furniture and layout of your home.
Draw Types You Can Recreate
Black Steel Advanced gives you the control to focus on precision and technique. Here’s what’s compatible with this kind of training:
Snatch Draw: High, aggressive grip under speed
Scoop Draw: Fast but inconsistent, use for reaction timing
Straight Draw: Ideal for belt or waistband setups
Cross Draw: Off-hand practice for backup pistol access
Tactical Draw: Upward-right angle fast draw
Four-Count Pistol Draw: Step-by-step practice for reliability
Appendix Carry Draw: Practice AIWB carry under pressure
Seated Draw: Drill one-hand access from car seat or chair
Whether OWB, IWB, AIWB, or duty holsters—you can work them all with one screen and a scaled target in front of you.

Before You Go
Whether you are a professional or a responsible citizen, LaserHIT’s Black Steel Advanced gives you reliable, private, and consistent support for holster draw training.
Use it to refine your concealed carry draw, build first-shot precision under time pressure, or rehearse transitions from seated, standing, or cover-based positions. From one phone and one target, you get meaningful data and instant feedback, all without leaving your home or department.
And if you are the one filling the training board or lounge wall, consider this. Five minutes a day with a holster and a laser can be more productive than another dusty flyer that no one reads.
