cause that's about all the time you will get. The crap starts at 10 ft and closer, and he can certainly raise his gun and get off several TRIES at hitting you in 1.0 second. He can also charge from 10 ft and strike/tackle you in 1.0 second. From 6 ft, it's 1.2 second (or less, if he DIVES at you). A DIVING man is a very difficult target to hit, by the way! He can THROW that prybar, big flashlight, channel lock pliers at you in 1/4 second, and THEN charge/dive at you as you duck/block the flying item, too.
From low ready, at 10 ft, you can learn to react, twitch up your wrist, and hit the chest in less than 1/2 second, get 3 more chest hits in .50 second, too. it's not that tough to achieve this ability, given an SA .22, 380 or 9mm, either. Raising the arms, gun and all, is about .20 second slower than merely twitching your wrists enough to let the gun come up and hit the chest. However, the "twitch" requires a lot more practice to get such hits that quickly, and if you have to traverse on a sideways plane, in order to get the hit, the arm and all move is a LOT more likely to get the hits.
