, pocket draw averages .55 sec, warmed up

boati · 11-23-2020, 04:15 PM

starting hand in pocket, reliable chest hit at arm's length, airsoft, to react, draw and hit. I have yet to find a gas repeater that's small enough for pocket carry. So I use a spring gun. It's just barely loud enough to stop the timer, tho. Since my reaction time is .20 second, if I start first, the mugger gets at most.40 second to react, decide what to do, and move his arm over to where I've side-stepped. It can't be done.

.15 second more lets me get both hands on the gun at an eye-level point, adequate for a reliable chest hit at 10 ft. He MIGHT be able to get off one wild shot before I hit him.

Most people can shoot REAL GUNS!

for the under the t Shirt draw, .90 second for a reaction, draw and reliable hit on the chest at 10 ft seems to be the best I can average from under a t shirt, after a few warmup draws. For a "cold" one time trial, I'd not bet on a time much under 1.0 second. Still, that's world-class speed from concealment under a shirt.

“.55 second, warmed up”... Then you talk about what you’ll do to “the mugger”, as if this is reality.

So in your scenario and planning, a mugger will let you warm up. Got it.

and you couldn't do the same thing in twice as much time. Cause you're too lazy to practice and too scared to move that fast.

Is this a comedy show? Sure get to laugh a lot!

not being warmed up slows down my hand in pocket draw just .05 second. It's still twice as fast as you can manage from under a shirt. :-)

Although I do have the disadvantage of being pretty loyal to the truth. That is unfortunately a limitation on these forums.
