I know what he wrote, regardless of what he meant:
Quote:
... The answer is ability to draw from concealment instantly, less then 0.5 seconds. If you can't then you need to re-evaluate your training or method of carry or both. ...
I reject every notion of that post. The notion that somehow "the answer" is to do something almost nobody can do is not helpful, even if it's used as a selectively-simplistic rationalization for an alternate method of carry (i.e. a pocket revolver).

Having reviewed - at this time - hundreds (maybe more than a thousand) self-defense incidents on video, it doesn't look like anyone is successful in outdrawing their opponent, especially if that opponent has an already-drawn gun.

I acknowledge the utility of a pocket revolver. It's a smart option. It's just not THE ANSWER, nor is THE ANSWER a 0.5 second draw.

My honest hope is that the OP experienced a typographical ND (lol), and that the suggestion was 1.5, not 0.5.
