Anyone using a contact weapon will have to close the distance in order to use it, and any defender will have to prevent that.
and maybe lawfully mitigating the criminal attack of a person in close proximity does not involve going immediately to your gun. or maybe you need to go to ground and create space to draw.. maybe a person should have some fighting prowess other than with a gun, maybe a person should have more than one plan or method to defend themselves.
I certainly hope to but I do not expect to come out of any criminal attack unscathed. At the same time, I don't count on always being able to use a gun to solve my most immediate problem.
its not hard to construct a scenario that supports any particular point of view and sure.. draw speed may be substantially more important in a circumstance that you describe.
As I said earlier, I am not endeavoring to be slower. Its just that I am not hyper focused on the nuances of draw speed. I will take strategics and personal grit over speed any day of the week. If it were 1898 and we were in a frontier town, I might feel different.
If the "good guy's gun is out", the draw has already occurred. We cannot comment on the speed.
Anytime there are long moments between drawing the weapon and firing it, .. initial draw speed is not an important factor.
