The problem I have with some of the incidents described is that aren't you behind the reactionary gap when actually faced with your opponent.
It is a situation where you contemplate lethal force - knives are out. So you have to rack if you want to shoot? Slow? Could you mess up the rack - not that I would or any of us.
It would seem to me that the second I'm holding the gun because I need it, I'm racking then and there. If the sound helps - it's plus.
However, do I get the feeling that some are waiting to rack so that they can explicitly engage in some dominance inducing behavior as compared to racking when they need the gun. I understand the technical reasons for chamber empty but being me, academic, I'm interested in a deliberate display.
