Never timed myself. But than I dont personally see quick draw as a soloution to any real world problem.
A bad guy is most likely going to have his weapon in his hand. They are the aggressors, after all. Being able to get your weapon into use quickly could mean the difference between life and death
If you are behind in the reactionary curve (bad guy has gun pointed at you while yours is still holstered) you had better either comply or employ another tactic while you draw. Chances are if you stand and draw you will be shot. Draw as you run engage as soon as possible and pray.
This is why situational awareness is so important. Lessen the chances of being caught behind in the reactionary curve.
Guy with FOF training will tell you that very very few folks come out of being behind in the reactionary curve uninjured.
I agree. Hopefully too, if youre lucky, the bad guys watched to many movies, and doesnt understand the advantage of distance the gun gives him. If hes fairly close, the last thing hes going to expect, is you to attack him, and his gun is already out for you.Chances are if you stand and draw you will be shot.
This and the high incidence of mutual suicide in FOF are the two main reasons I'm somewhat skeptical of the applicability of all lessons learned from FOF to the real world.Guy with FOF training will tell you that very very few folks come out of being behind in the reactionary curve uninjured.
