Need for draw speed a myth?

Here is where concealed carry becomes a big advantage over the predators:
we know and can see their intentions, but they are unaware of the .45acp on our belt; the instant his attention is distracted away from us momentarily is when we spring the surprise of the "smooth draw" and the "take-your-time-but-hurry-up" trigger control on 'em, just like they surprised us (if we happened to be in condition white.)

When it comes down to it, it's really not a question of quick draw or fast draw. It's a question of how long it can take us to perceive the threat, determine the need to fire, deploy our gun and engage the threat with accurate fire, having made the decision that shooting is warranted.

Another subjective and generalized statement that ignores the fact that SOMETIMES drawing the weapon fast is necessary for survival---even though the statement is true in the general sense. We only arrive at generalities after figuring in all the extremes.

I hate to sound dumb or uninformed, but what is the OODA loop?

This.
