"Try some Tueller exercises. You will be lucky to draw and fire once".
Don't have to do them to know that is true.
In my younger days I could react, draw, and fire an SAA in a little under 0.3 seconds, but not a J-frame from the pocket. And probably can't do it with an SAA anymore.
I've not done any realistic defensive training and neither has my Dad, but my Dad used my J-frame to successfully prevent over a dozen unsuccessful armed robbery attempts at his store (he was finally killed at age 86 on a day when he wasn't carrying).
Me, I've only been in one gunfight. I wasn't armed, but the other guy was too close to me when he pulled his, so I took it away from him and put it in my pocket.
Do any of those count as realistic defensive training?
