Back in the day a bunch of us attended at least a match per week, and quite often two, and we dry fired every day.
Most of us could fairly consistently hit the A zone of a USPSA target from 7 yds in under 1 second.
No problem.
The last time I recently tried it the results were.....
Well, I think I'll take the fifth on that.
Or maybe I should have had a fifth before trying.
It was over 2 sec.

If a fast draw and accurate hit under 1 sec is important, it takes constant practice.
Although oddly enough, wearing a jacket or starting from the surrender position doesn't seem to slow things down much.
