I don't carry tip-down, but if I did, my draw and deployment would be pretty much the same with some minor adjustments. The article I already shared in post #7 pretty much covers it. Just like drawing and gripping a gun, I want consistency between models, carry positions, in different scenarios and a secure and reliable delployment method. Although I do think it wise to have familiarity with different methods due to the unpredictability of defense encounters.
