I guess everyone would feel that a quick draw is important ... getting the piece ''into play'' pretty damn quick. Something I daresay we all practice.
But .... just how important is that ... compared with actual competance when firing? IMO quick presentation is important ... sure .. but of little value if when presented the ''operator'' cannot ''deliver''.
My draw is not fast by many standards but ... i place great import on how the gun comes out .. by which I mean .. it's not the speed with which the gun is outa the holster but .. the speed with which you have a hold that allows a useful first shot........ as against a miss!
Maybe the IDPA guys have this buttoned up but ... the rest of us? How much importance do you place on quick presentation?? I'd rather take that smigeon of extra time and make shot #1 really count ....
