in a front pants pocket holster. With a bit of practice, you can learn to react to the beep of an electronic shooting timer, draw (starting hand in pocket, still concealed/discrete) and hit the chest of a man at 10 ft, in .70 second. Nobody, and I mean nobody, is anything like that fast with a ccw'ed belt rig, using realistic covering. Decorum, heat, cold, wind, rain, etc, often make you doff the coat, or fasten it, and there goes your "little finger brush" method of clearing the covering garment. So that draw is bs, plain and simple.
I"ve proven, in IPSC matches, that I've got as fast a draw and hit move as anyone alive, and I've never been able to average under .95 second for this test, with a hungout shirttail over an IWB rig, worn at the navel, with the hands starting at my sides. That is .10 or so seconds faster than anything else that is practical to wear ccw, at the belt. What you "jumped" (eliminating your .20 second reaction time) or bs stop watch timing said you did (ONCE) means nothing. If you can't average it, on demand, it's bs, so don't claim it.
Drawing "too soon" gets you a "brandishing" charge, and loses your ccw permit for you. It might even get you a felony charge of "aggravated assault". If you can't be bothered to keep a 13 oz Kelt tec single stack PF-9 in your pocket, you just don't care much about your safety, that's all. Nobody pays any attention at all to the fact that you have your hands, or one hand, in your pocket, so any time that you "smell a rat" or are exposed in any way, why not already have your hand on your gun, and leave the fumbling and poor grip on the gun and the snagging in the clothing, etc, of a "ccw belt rig fast draw" to the Walter mitty crowd?
