Fair point. This thread shows reasonably well that my sense of true/false/important/not is different from other's but I've always been more interested in the second part of that group, those who failed to defend themselves successfully with all kinds firearms, suboptimal or good. Another interesting bit, even less if at all known, is to what extent luck vs prep, training and equipment included, determines the outcome.

In a context of this small pistol/big pistol thread, last year I timed my 7 yards / A zone draw of a Ruger LCP from a pocket holster wearing a reasonably well fitting pair of pants and with hands in an interview position. It was about 5 seconds. After that I decided to never carry a pocket pistol and instead spend my time on physical conditioning so I can ran away further in those 5 seconds.

That’s the most tenuous part of Darryl’s trick.
