One note, and it's not nit-picking, I promise - we have switched to keeping the weapon in either a Sul Position or the low ready when searching. I'm not sure of your background of high stress shooting and training but if you came around the corner and were startled having your muzzle pointed in the direction you were moving is unsafe. Also, having the gun up in the high ready as you move blocks the lower field of view, decreasing your already tunneled vision in a combat stress situation. It does not take hardly any longer to move a weapon from the low ready to the high ready/on target and press off a round or two, but it is far safer, and allows for a better field of view. Plus, on a longer search, your arms will get super tired holding the weapon up at the high ready for an extender period of time (TRUST ME).
A La Google (this guy is not me):
Sul Position
Low Ready (this is even slightly high depending on distance to threat - you want to aiming just below subjects feet)
This is just been my experience, I know there are far better shooters than I on this forum.
