I averaged 1.44. This was using a S&W 642 from a KyTac Pocket-Lockit
My draw from a concealed belt holster averaged 1.02. This was using a full size 1911 from a KyTac Counter Attack rig.
Obviously your mileage
does vary, but I don't consider less than 1/2 a second difference in draw time significant. Certainly, you can fabricate a situation where that would make the difference between life and death in a real SD situation, but how often is less than 1/2 a second really going to matter?
In any case, as you said that was a 'best' situation for the pocket carry, so most times it is probably even greater. I acknowledged that. A belt holster under lose fitting cover clothing
is the best CCW option, no question. I just say that 1 or 2 or even 3 seconds slower is better than coming up empty handed in a SD situation.
Citing laziness on your part as a valid reason for pocket carry won't fly with me
Reality check. I'll accept that you carry your full size 1911 with you 24/7 in a belt holster, with your wardrobe adjusted to make that work and no "tucked in" or "zippered up" clothing blocking access to that holster. That's your choice and I admire you for it. If, god forbid, I ever found myself in a life-or-death situation, I would certainly want to be armed that way.
However,
my (or anyone else's) CCW decisions don't have to 'fly' with
you.
If we are going to be realistic, most CCW holders simply
won't go to that extreme. Is that 'laziness' or a 'poor choice'? Perhaps it is, but its their choice to make.
For example, I generally don't consistently "carry" around the house and in the summer time often can be found in nothing but shorts and a t-shirt (in the 90 degrees 90% humidity common in my area, wearing a second button down shirt or some sort of vest over that t-shirt it just too hot). If I suddenly realize I need to run out for 10 minutes to teh local supermarket for a gallon of milk, I'm much more likely to carry if I can just slip a gun/holster into the pocket of my shorts than I am if I have change my clothing to accommodate concealing a gun/holster on the belt.
Again, yes that's a
compromise but sometimes
for me its a worthwhile one. YMMV
