[QUOTE="thesensei, post: 1202999, member: 4214"] Hands up adds about a tenth of a second or so. The same for hands at the sides. Standing in a less ready position would probably add a bit more as well. But I normally stand in an "interview position" (hands positioned similarly to the video), or with my thumbs hooked in my pockets, which is a very good position to clear the shirt and draw one-handed, so it's a fairly close comparison to reality (it's difficult to get relaxed when you KNOW that beep is coming!). Of course, in a real surprise self-defense situation, you will not perform to the level at which you have practiced and trained. Therefore, get a lot of good practice so you'll perform reasonably well when the dung flies at the spinny-thingy on the ceiling! And hopefully, good situational awareness will give a jump-start on any bad stuff that starts going down. [/QUOTE]
