In one of the articles on mouse guns, one comment was a need to defend at 20 yards? How far away would you dare to shoot, and claim in court you were in a life threatening situation?

A better way to try this, if you can, is using an airsoft rig that duplicates your carry system. It'll cost you about $100 or so, but it's well worth it.The attacker and defender stand 21 feet apart. AT THE ATTACKER'S OPTION, he charges and stabs the defender. The recorder starts the watch WHEN he sees the attacker move. The defender tries to get off a shot.
Pertinent information is recorded -- time to stab the defender, age, weight, sex, etc of participants, and the defender's estimate of his ability to get off an accurate shot.
Then eveyone change places. This way a database is quickly built up. And you find:
1. The attack takes about 1.5 second, plus or minus 0.1 seconds.
2. The attacker wins almost all the time.
Fix, the tueller drill is primarily a law enforcement tool. It's name comes from a study that determined too many cops weren't giving credibility to threats armed with clubs, knives, etc.Do not assume that because you managed to get shots off during the drill that you will display the same performance in real life. In the real world, there is no "ready, set, go". You have no warning, unlike the training exercises.
