If you’ve got a safety I agree, my glock doesn’t so I keep the chamber empty, but once I’ve got one in, I’m pulling the trigger that’s just how I’m trained. I do practice cycles frequently.
Concealed, draw/rack ~1-2 seconds (not fast, I know guys who can do it under 1 second, a few well under). Open/hip carry...around 1-1.5 seconds. Draw/rack/fire ~3-4.5 seconds. That is standing still, at a range, knowing that I'm going to shoot. Moving is, shoot, probably double that but it really all depends on the contributing factors like adrenaline, target layout, if I've been to the course/range before..that kinda stuff. I don't think I'm the fastest but I've been fast enough when I've needed to. I've gone to competitions and I've seen Men and Women Draw, and this is laser monitored and videoed, at like .015 seconds. I've heard of slightly faster but never witnessed that myself. I can't even imagine that level of discipline and speed.

She didn't understand "Get out of my way."
She didn't understand "Leave me alone."
She didn't understand "Stop blocking my car from leaving."
But she understood loud and clear the sound of a bullet being chambered into that handgun.
Some people don't understand anything other than physical threats. You can't reason with a violent instigator.

You should already have a round in the pipe tho.

What's your mean draw/rack/first round time versus draw/first round time?
