Hold Q for about 1.5 seconds and your weapon drops into Lowered State. Melee from Lowered State comes out about 40% quicker than from Shoulder Aim, because the game skips the lowering animation. Works with your primary and your sidearm.
Bonus: holding a corner? A lowered barrel will not poke out and give you away.
