Depends much on the situation.
Is the defender's hand in his jacket pocket gripping his snubbie? Is the gun concealed in a holster taking two seconds or more to deploy?
How fast, effective and confident is the defender?
Is there a line of retreat? How fast can the defender run?
Is there cover at hand? How close?
How is the attacker armed? How fit and confident does the attacker appear? How many attackers are there? Where are they.
List ten or fifteen more of your own. Then imagine scenarios involving different combinations thereof. Boil it all down to two or three basic options and the one or three factors which will actually make the decision for you.
When it comes down to it you will have one fifth of a second to act so your training must target your subconscious mind.
Good luck! Stay safe.
With that in mind, what is in your hand (even if it is empty) is your most quickly deployed weapon.
