you can become VERY fast, for almost no money, without ever leaving your home. Dryfire and airsoft will suffice to teach you the fast draw, and fast shouldering of a rifle, fast traverses to other targets, too. The typical rifleman "thinks" that 3 seconds, to shoulder a rifle and hit a man's chest at 50 yds, is quite fast. Actually, it can be done in 1.5 seconds or less, 1.2 seconds with an electronic sight, a sound suppressor, and a good trigger pull. Typically, a cop needs 2.0 full seconds to ccw draw, or draw from a secured duty, open wear rig, and reliably now, average of 5 tries, get a chest hit at 10 ft. A fast man can be all OVER you, from a standing start, in 1.0 second flat, from 10 ft away. A truly fast gun handler can make that ccw draw and hit in 1.0 second, at 10 ft, on a 10" vitals circle, and hit that circle 5 more times in another second, and I mean with a fully combat worthy load, and a gun that's compact and lw enough for all day ccw, under a hung out t shirt.
Do you really want to BET YOUR LIFE that an attacker is going to miss you 6-7 times, at the typical sub 10 ft ranges of justifiable civilian self defense? A punk gets to start FIRST, you know, and it's VERY easy to hit 4x per second, at 10 ft or less, with a semiauto 22lr pistol, and it's very cheap to practice enough to be that "skilled', too. Getting several .22 hits on you is quite likely to result in your death, you know,and exactly nothing keeps a punk from having a buckmark or Ruger .22 autopistol, or at least, a Jennings J22. The latter are $50 on the street, and many of them work just fine, too. Just because you don't LIKE the idea that you need to be fast does not alter the facts, and it costs very little, actually. If you can do it with airsoft, you can do it with a .22, too, since the .22's recoil is so slight. Instructors downplay the need for fast ccw draw, since the practice, with live ammo, early in your training, is so likely to result in at least ONE of their students shooting himself in the leg, butt, or foot, and then suing the instructor's butt off! They know that students won't pay big bucks for lots of dryfire or airsoft practice, so they SKIP the most important part of your ccw handgun training.
