I'm not a big believer in multitasking. In fact it's a myth. But in this case, moving to cover while drawing is a good thing. Even just moving is a good thing. As you said, it gives a chance to present the weapon.treadlightly wrote:Seems to me another thing worth noting is that if the first appropriate response to a deadly situation is drawing your firearm, you may have already lost. Getting separation and cover buys time to unlimber the ol' hog leg, and just maybe, if the active hostilities can wait an extra heartbeat, maybe everyone can just run away.
Firing from concealment is probably going to be a 2 second thing, if not more. I'd still vote for having a round ready in the chamber, but in a resolvable situation where you've hindered contact and gotten cover, maybe the extra second or two isn't as precious as it would be in a leather-slap.
On the other hand, an assailant probably always has the advantage.
