BTW, since when is a 2 sec draw "fast?"
Since most people who conceal carry can't do it and hit anything beyond 3 yards, assuming they manage to pull the trigger in time.
Before becoming gainfully employed, I shot a lot more and competed-always wearing a concealment garment and my carry gun. I got a kick out of beating folks with their fancy race holsters and such with open carry. I was to the point that I considered anything over 1.8 seconds to hit an IDPA silhouette center circle at 7 yards was too slow. Then I started to notice a pattern. My first set or two of the day always had the worst times or worst hit ratio, if not both. So I started tracking them.
The drill was simple. Walking into the range off the street, set up my target, put on muffs and glasses, making no adjustments to be sure the gun was in the sweet spot of carry, go to the line, hit the timer, wait for the tone, tone, draw and fire a Mozambique at 7 yards with a par time of 2.5 seconds with COM shots in the center IDPA circle and a head shot good for anywhere on the head. That is a 1.8 draw, with .20 seconds for the follow-up on the tap, and then .50 seconds to transition to the head and hit it. The drill was shot with carry ammo since it was what I carried on the street.
Why the criteria? These were as close to real life criteria as I could set up on a consistent basis for skill assessment that would mimic the facets of real life being that the ammo was defense ammo and not range ammo, the gun was in whatever position it would be in at the time the event started as would be the concealment garment (whatever it was and with whatever problems were inherent to that type of garment), and shooting stone cold. After all, in real life, bad guys don't let you adjust your gun to the optimal angle or position, untuck your shirt, fluff your vest to make sure it isn't snagging, load in light range ammo (as some people practice with), or warm up. Of course, this did not mimic other factors such as being on the move, scared, in a crowd of people, etc.
What I found for me and for other shooters is something I saw paralleled with most non-professional competition shooters who could not warm up before matches. Comparatively speaking, we were much less skilled and/or slower when shooting cold than when shooting warmed up.
For me, if I met the par time, then one or more of my shots did not hit their designated areas. More often than not, one of my COM double taps was outside of the circle. Sometimes a head shot would be a complete miss. Or, if I made all the shots, then I usually didn't make par time. This was quite sobering. I was not as good as my best warmed up times in regard to counting on what I would have available on the street.
Some folks I ran through the drill were downright scary. I watched fairly decent warmed-up shooters do their best at 7 yards and completely miss the entire IDPA target with one of the two COM shots and completely miss the head shot and still not make the par time.
Several facets came about. It became obvious what garments did not want to work very well for this sort of cold draw drills, what holsters don't work so well without adjustment, etc. For example, I learned that blousy dress shirts were often easily captured when I gripped my IWB carried 1911, significantly hampering the draw. I learned to work through such obstructions, but also that I needed to buy more fitted shirts.
The bottom line here is that a lot of us are very good warmed up shooters and have great times, but few of us are honest very good cold shooters for social situations where cold shooting is all we have at hand. From this information, I determined that I could only count on being as good as my worst recent cold shooting day. This was I thought was the best reasonable assessment of my available skills. In retrospect and given that it didn't factor in so many things, it may still have been an optimistic assessment.
Movie footage is cute and everything, but there is no accuracy required and as noted, they get as many tries as they want and as much warmup as they want.
