I think the issue with the above is simply one of differing perspectives.
The "claim" was that a student in one of these classes could "draw and fire" in such a short time. The Industry standard for "draw and fire" is not starting with the hand on the gun and the grip established.
So, without that disclaimer in th previous posts, claiming such a feat, alot of pepple (myself included) threw the BS flag.
I stand by that....if we are going to claim super human feats for a known skillset then we need to abide by that skill set quantification. OR a disclaimer should be made stating we are differing from the understood procedure
I bet i can beat that time by a considerable margin, if i start with a J frame in my coat pocket, pointed at the tgt and my finger on the trigger. But that is not what was inferred by the OP. "Draw and fire" has a established meaning.
SO, a unrealistic comparison to a know quantity lead to a claim that we all know was not humanly possible (at least at the skill/training level indicated).
Was she fast? YEP, good on her for the reflexes to get a hit in that timeframe.
Was that a true test of her "draw and fire" time? NOPE
