Three-space pincer

Black B1 is a very classical move. Naturally it is more slow-paced than the closer pincers.


[Diagram]
White's replies

White's traditional replies are at a for immediate life, or at b, taking up position while waiting to see what Black has in mind.


[Diagram]
Life

With W1 and W3, White has enough room to live. Black plays next at a to keep White shut in, or b.


[Diagram]
Come out

White can also come out with W3. That leaves a shape point at a that Black can play later. It also allows Black a more efficient shape than in the next variation.


[Diagram]
Come out first

Comparing with this order of play, White W1 here first seems more consistent.
