Another thing to practice is on making time when there is none available. For example throwing an object at the threats head makes a small amount of time available to you and also moves the point of concentration of the threat from you to avoiding the thrown object.

For those of you with a shot timer, have a friend ask you a question and let him trigger the buzzer while you are answering it. See what that time looks like compared to your normal non-verbal draw.
Also, there is a big underlying fallacy to the “fast draw” theory, and that is that the first shot to hit will stop the fight. That’s highly unlikely with a pistol. Unless you get a hit on the upper central nervous system, that person can be dead on their feet but still have lots of time to shoot/stab, etc.
If I can create time, I’d use that time to find cover.
