In instructor led practice, the instructor will call out 'threat' or not. Good teaching moment when somebody goes to bang out of habit. Practicing on your own, you make the call.

Absolutely. I find "tap, rack, point in" a much more prudent response. Having "tab, rack, bang" drilled into your head will train you to shoot after a malfunction - something that has lead to at least one very bad shooting I am aware of where an unfortunate individual killed somebody while attempting to NOT shoot them. I suppose such a response is more appropriate for a combat situation, but for defensive handgun, not so much.
