Yes yes yes

.it's amazing how hard it is to do something as simple as drawing a firearm) as well as just regular range shooting accuracy.... It's a lot harder to draw on a target than you would think when the target is standing STILL and your adrenaline isnt pumping....Just think about when the target has the ability to move!

And imagine when that moving target is trying his best to kill you and there are innocent people freaking out That's why "square range" practice isn't sufficient.

I forget how many times you gotta do something like draw-and-index, and that's doing it *correctly* under realistic stress, before you get decent muscle memory, but it's in the thousands. And getting the gun out is the easy part!

OK OK, back on-topic- the above oughta factor into what your CCW choice is. Not just how you carry/access/get hits with it, but whether you can clear a malfunction, etc. under stress [oh, OK...insert quip about Glocks/SIGs/HKs never malfunctioning here...I know what you guys are thinking ]
