“Really? No time lost? When the average gun fight is 2 to 3 seconds, I’ll take every fraction I can get. And I can guarantee you that if you have to rack the slide you just lost at least 1 to 2 seconds.”
You are planning for Wyatt Earp/Doc Holiday type docudramas about throwdowns on Allen St. Most always the gun is out of the holster in plebnty of time to rack slide/flick off safety if you are anywhere near situationally aware.
Statistics would be against your statement. Most gun fights take place statistically inside of 7 yards. You must have heard of the tueller drill. If not, look it up. Most burglers or attackers arent going to approach you with gun drawn. It all happens in close and if you have to rack your slide with the bad guy that close, you probably just got stabbed or the bad guy wrestled the gun from you while you were busy racking.
The Wyatt Earp accusation just tells me you really havent trained for this.
