Now how important is it to get your gun out of its holster and firing in the least amount of time? I guess it depends on how much you like your family/friends/date

It is a lot less important than making a good hit; because just shooting him in the chest isn’t going to stop him from firing.
Again, pistols are weak. Regular people can get shot dead center and still be able to shoot back, move, stab, etc. I read a case the other day where someone was shot under the chin, it exited the top of the head. 9mm FMJ. Due to various circumstances, police weren’t even notified for 5-10 minutes. After police were called, they jocked up, established a perimeter, and entered. The guy shot through his head was mobile, alert to time and circumstances, and communicating with them, albeit with difficulty. He was also trying to provide himself first aid, although not super effectively.
Yet this whole “fast draw” premise is based on the mistaken belief that the first hit ends the fight.
