Just wondering if anybody use the Sig P228 for any type of competition( idpa,uspsa etc)?
Speed is something i will definitely have to work on, Ive never worked with a timer or attempted a lot of fast draws.
You are not going to win a match just by draw time. Even if your a full second slower than everyone else and let’s say a club match is 6 stages, that’s only 6 seconds.
But setting that aside, more than one top-level competitor has remarked that there is a significant correlation between draw times and overall performance.

I suspect there are at least two factors at play in that. First, after urgency of movement and the usual avoid-static-reloads stuff, the next big obstacle to speed for many newer practical shooters is their index - i.e., how long they have to spend waiting for the gun (and sights) to get "on target" when they get ready to shoot that target, particularly when you're not talking about static transitions in an array. Working on the draw, if done properly, almost necessarily works on the shooter's index... after all, most draw practice involves drawing the gun to some kind of target and looking for the sights. That same work pays dividends when the shooter comes into a new position with only one hand on the gun. So draw practice doesn't just improve your draw time.
