IMO, if you are justified to draw, draw with the intent to shoot. If the attacker is going to stop, he had better do it convincingly before you get the point of shooting. I think if you plan on drawing and pausing to see what happens, you are putting yourself at a severe disadvantage. Distance from the attacker always affects this, but I think it is dangerous to plan to draw and do nothing even if only for a moment. I think the time to evaluate the situation is before you drawr. I am sure there are numerous scenarios both ways, but I think one should be very careful about setting your mind up for NOT shooting. The situation may end up requiring that very thing.
