Yes and no, the design of the Derpa is the failure, your trigger finger should be doing no other work that pressing the trigger, no buttons, boogers, butts, etc. the Sweeney video itself is proof that a trained person can still Serpa Derp. I know that part of the reason you got the ALS was me and others insisting it was sooo much better, and it is, for all but I guess a few firearms. No doubt that it is safer than the Serpa, along with more natural draw.
As I said........Yup. I am still messing with the ALS. I have not given up on it as yet. My SIL kind of likes it for his SA Champion. It is an inch shorter than the standard Gov issue so maybe. It is notably higher on the belt line which I think is my issue with it coupled with no relief in the front. That increases how far I have to lift the gun before it clears. I am sure with repetition this could be overcome. But man, old dog/new tricks and all of that.
And my old shoulders aint digging this either.
