gun, in pocket. Both of you face targets, you have your gun ready to fire, pointed at your target. if his hand comes out of pocket with a gun in it, SEE if you can beat him to the shot. You can't, if he's got any speed at all. of course, to prevent your cheating, he must many times NOT have the gun, and if you fire, you were cheating, firing without having seen-recognized the threat in his hand.

but wouldn't some people with a gun on you shoot just because you made the quick twich movement regardless if a gun came out or not? Unless you mean something different from the drill.

sure, but what if they've TOLD you to "hand it over", or "get your hands where I can see them", HMM? They have to DECIDE to shoot you, AND reverse the nerve signal that they have BEEN sending to their hand. The one that's saying" Dont shoot UNLESS". it's then a question of how fast he can do all that, and how fast you can move and fire. If you sidestep AS you draw, hey, his muzzle aint ON you anymore. If you're wearing concealed armor, and he's nicely aimed at your sternum, don't take a step.
