What are the causes of a short draw?

A short draw in firearms often occurs due to several factors, including improper grip or stance, which can affect the shooter's ability to effectively pull the trigger. Additionally, mechanical issues such as a malfunctioning trigger mechanism or a partially obstructed barrel can contribute to this problem. Insufficient practice or lack of familiarity with the firearm can also lead to a short draw, as the shooter may not be adequately prepared to execute the draw smoothly. Lastly, environmental factors like clothing or holster design can hinder the draw, resulting in a shorter movement than intended.
