Which sport offers a person the most realistic chance of improving their possibility of surviving an attack from bad guys (if I'd decide to pursue a CCW permit and would therefore be armed when the attack occurs).
Trigger time is a good thing. Many cogent points have been made. Neither is realistic to any great extent.
I just want to say that if you are serious about training to survive an attack, find a good quality tactical course or two. Take one with a FOF component. IPSC or IDPA targets have no free will and don't shoot back. They don't move much, do they? Thus, shoot the games for fun, skills and trigger time - but get tactical training if you are serious about progressing in that level.
