I remember years ago this signal being taught in ASA umpire clinics (but I have not done ASA softball recently).

The OP only has one out though. Who would ever need to use this signal with one out?? It wouldn't bother me with two but I am generally aware of the count and the outs.
Partner or me in C always reminds to check for IFF. If Runners on 1st and 2nd advance on WP or PB. I wipe it just to remind my partner. Unnecessary but just making sure.
