Dan Combs quickdraw demo in studio

[@ChrisKnoxinAZ]

Dan Combs was a friend of my father, Neal Knox. I saw him give a demonstration that included a Thompson at a bench rest rifle match around 1975. Remarkable man. Glad to see that the Dan Combs heritage is being preserved.

[@DirkDiggler6903]

I worked with his nephew Jack Combs, he said Dan's hands were so fast he could beat the Pee out of you. We lost of the Combs family too soon.

[@charlierogers9553]

He came to our High School and did this !!!! Just try that today !

[@user-td1zo3tv9p]

Pretty impressive especially given the era.

Great video, this guy could give Jerry Miculek a run. I really like the phrase its not the empty gun its the empty head that kills.

[@wrathroc]

Respect to a veteran of public service. His whole life of service

Love this! OHP continues to the best in the nation!

Holy Fast Draw 😳 That’s Impressive

[@josephhiggins7216]

I've watched a few of these videos. Times have changed. This was before speedloaders were in common use. Trigger discipline was a little different. I do like his finger spins, though. He uses his middle finger behind the trigger. I've watched some of the old FBI traing videos, too. All their training was shooting one handed. Even in 1973 when I qualified with a .45 in the Army, using two hands was optional.

Before the days of retention holsters....

[@josephhiggins7216]

That is a retention holster. Listen close when he holsters it.

[@timrandall9479]

Saw this guy in the early sixties in Junior Exhibition Assembly.

[@oilhammer04]

Is he bump firing the revolver at 2:30 ?

[@knndyskful]

Uh not so much bump fire as it is hammer fire, bump fire involves the trigger bouncing off your finger, hammer fire involves holding the trigger down and hitting the hammer

[@oilhammer04]

@@knndyskful, thanks for the clarification.

[@TheArmourersBench]

Yeah he uses his other hand, index finger inside the trigger guard, to run it.

[@hammered0184]

@@TheArmourersBench You are correct, sir.

[@JRCinKY]

Awesome! Wish I had known him

[@karlrehnmusic]

Do you know what date this was recorded?

[@ted.angell7609]

Jerry Miculek likes this.

[@josephhiggins7216]

Jerry doesn't have the fast draw that this man has. Fast draw never really has been his thing, though.

[@brookswade5774]

Damn!

[@davidgomez9759]

This is fast. No speed holster used like the pro shooters use.

[@markayers5397]

David, Dan did design some of his own holsters, I have one.

[@josephhiggins7216]

Today's pro shooters don't have to spend hours at a time sitting in a patrol car. Or wrestling with bad guys.

[@ronniehammock8648]

He taught in my academy 30

[@redneckillinois2030]

Wow

[@brucedzamba3842]

I wonder who was faster, him or Bob Munden???

[@hammered0184]

Munden

[@montycasper4300]

Like to see him do that with the retention holsters cops use today.

[@RightOnTarget1]

Versus Bill Jordan?

[@hammered0184]

They would be a "draw". HAHAhaaa!

Gets shot in back....

[@mickdifoe8920]

Dang he shot that cop and he wasnt even black!

[@tacbear]

Open top holster....this has NO relevance to Today!

[@davidgomez9759]

I came on Texas D.P.S. in 1979 and the Jordan Holster was the issue holster. Just about every police agency in the country was using it.

[@davidgomez9759]

Back then, you had no safety holsters or equipment. That’s impressive in any era.
