If you are using a 4 count draw stroke, it may be fair to say that by the time the gun is in position 2 one is fairly far along into the presentation. This is true because Count 1 is rather time consuming. However, the time between the end of Count 1 (when the gun actually moves) and Count 2 is quite short. This can be measured. Take a timer, start with your hand in a firing grip, and on the beep, draw to retention and fire a shot. Subtract your reaction time (usually around 0.25 seconds), and that gives you the length of time it takes to complete the entire Count 2. Probably about 1/3rd of that time the gun is still in or pointed at the holster. 2/3rds of that time is probably the theoretical time that you are delaying your shot in order to get to a tight, well protected position with a repeatable index.
I didn't think the OP was talking about shooting before Count 2, though. I thought he was talking about shooting at Count 2, or full extension, or anywhere in between, moving the gun out or in, as circumstances dictate.
