You know he's talking about having the gun (concealed hammer j-frame) in his pocket, finger on the trigger, and already aimed (point shooting) at his target through his pocket? He's not drawing the gun, he's just pulling the trigger in his pocket. At least that's the way I believed he described his "0.5 second draw" previously.
At a lot of the matches I run, I do a reaction speed test. Finger on the trigger, no target, just put a bullet into the berm when you hear a beep. The vast majority of people come in around 0.25 seconds. Not real uncommon to get someone consistently just below 0.20 seconds. Very rarely is anyone slower than 0.30 seconds.
I have no doubt that the vast majority of people could get off a shot through their pocket (finger already on the trigger, gun pointed downrange) in under 0.5 seconds.
The effectiveness of that shot (placement) and any follow up shots would be very questionable, and a demonstration could be very enlightening!
