S&W four inch "N" carried in high, strong side IWB holster under a leather vest. Was working covert naroctics when the deal went bad. BG had no money and planned a straight rip off. At point blank range I realized he was drawing a gun. The "N" frame was in my hand before I knew it. Shots were exchanged. I won. I was glad I was not wearing a shoulder holster.

Most of the variance is in the shooter, not the gun. You are better off with a quality gun that you shoot well and practicing your draw, coming to target, etc. - then worrying about the gun.
So I'm avoiding the question but people lose lots of time based on their manipulations rather than equipment.
Maximizing draw speed might be a bad thing if self-defense if it increases the number of false positives and bullets in the butt.

My Ruger Blackhawk(7 1/2inch barrel) Out of a Threeperson holster from El Paso Sadderly. Wear it right behind the right hip. I can draw arnd hit target in one second flat. Feel sorry for the bad guy who runs into me.

P7 for me also. It's not just the squeeze cocker, it's also the shape and size -- it points better than any of my other guns. I use a Blade-Tech IWB.

4" blue RG 38, carried left-hip crossdraw (I'm ambi), drawn left-handed and raised to bump-with-BG-nose level in about 1.5 seconds.
Suprised the BG....LOL....can still see the look on his face....LOL
In USPSA competition my 1911 or my EAA Witnesses are drawn from Milt Sparks 1AT's, and my Redhawks come out of a MS HSR.
Occasional draws from Galco Yaqui Slide or Royal Guard, Ernie Hill Fas-Trac (4" GP's) or a 9x21 Open Witness from a Gilmore Speed-Leader.
I'm equally fast (or slow) with them all.......LOL

If you spend a little time against the clock, you will find that you are measuring in hundredths of seconds.
With that in mind, a blunder that costs you a half a second is FAR more likely to cost you time. The type of gun has very little to do with it.
I have run quite a few times against the clock with a Glock, HK P7 and a 1911. They were all right about the same, with the Glock the fastest, and actually the P7 was the slowest. The P7 is the slowest because if you draw against the clock enough times you find that at it's fastest, it is no faster than the Glock, but at it's slowest, sometimes it is tough to get a grip on correctly, and that adds up in hundredths of seconds.
When you are going against stress, wierd things happen, and you grab for the gun at the wrong angle, or you grab a piece of your shirt on accident....all kinds of stuff can happen to cost you large amounts of time.
The few hundredths of a second difference between guns is really miniscule.
What adds up in time is your rig, and where you have your gun located, and if you have any baggy cloths on to get in the way etc.
I find a Glock to be the fastest, from a kydex holster. No matter how I grip the gun etc, all I have to do is pull the trigger. No levers to get a hold of and no safeties to find. Overall, they are about the same speed, but with every bit of complication involved, you add up more opportunity for you to grip the gun wrong or miss the lever.
Try it yourself and find out. Murphy's law goes full bore in these situations, and you would be surprised what you can fumble and cost a half second.

No offense intended, but if you have really spent time with the clock you would know the shot-to-shot time is slower on the Glock.
But, then again he's got a point, were talking hundreth's of a second between the three (for the first shot), tenth's on the following.
