using a Hawes CO2 SA "revolver". Got it to full extention of the arm, 1 hand hip point, coin was still knee high, FIRST time I tried this Old West test of draw-speed, thumbcocking the hammer.
Today, guys "think' that this super fast, using a Glock.
In 1978, I could drop that same coin from waist height, and get a good Weaver before the coin hit the deck, or I could beat from concealment, to a 1 handed point shot.
Until you can get that pistol out and "on" an attacker, it doesn't mean a thing, and it's 10x as likely that you won't HAVE to hit him with a bullet as actually having to do so, IF you get it visible to him in TIME for him to stop.
