[QUOTE="SMS, post: 788190, member: 42"] A quick search of 'brandishing' or 'draw and fire' etc...will bring up several threads we've had about this same issue and give you a good idea of the schools of thought floating around. Certainly if a bad guy breaks of his attack, shooting is not an option, but I posit that it is nearly impossible for a bad guy to break off an actual attack in the time it takes for a well trained shooter to intentionally draw and fire. The OODA loop is a *****. Keeping in mind that drawing and firing is done in one smooth continuous movement, I firmly believe that if the attacker had time to cease the attack, then either the shooter hesitated in an attempt to wait for a reaction, or the attacker and shooter both had superhuman perception and reflexes. Run a 21 foot drill with a friend, a rubber knife, and paintball or airsoft gun and see if he can 1) halt his attack after you draw and before you fire 2) you can recognize that halt in mid stroke and adjust. We're talking milliseconds, not hollywood step back, hand on the pistol, draw with a charlie's angels presentation followed by a 'halt or I'll shoot'. [/QUOTE]
