Seems this is no different than the discussions on how to manipulate the slide stop, with the argument being that .20 is nearly one more shot.
If the data was available from Tom G or otherwise, it would seem pretty straightforward to look at each of the incidents and figure out whether a reasonable person would choose the .20 faster draw or the more retention friendly, slower draw. Then, each individual could apply their own circumstances to whatever the data says. For example, if I was an undercover cop, working in close proximity to drug dealers, I might be a lot more retention oriented than my circumstances, where my primary threat is a wild animal attack, where speed is paramount and no retention technique will work against a bear.
