I disagree that it proves this. The supposed absolute of always carry chambered in this scenario is in my mind a crutch for lack of proficiency. Fully admitting that I do not possess such proficiency myself, I have trained under people that could very easily draw from concealment, charge, and fire on target before anyone else in the class could fire from chambered (and some tried holstered outside of concealment).

This, of course, ignores other variables like being in a situation where one arm is disabled, etc. Should you carry chambered? Yea, for most of us, probably so. Does the Tueller drill *prove* that? Not nearly as adequately as other situations do.
Ok, I will agree that it doesn't prove it, but highlights the fact that adding another action to your draw where it can cause you to unsuccessfully get a shot off in time. It happens to Adam a couple of times & once Jaime started from the 18' line, he couldn't get his gun up in time.

Now, the video highlights a singled handled grip & shot, not a double handed grip extended or a quick defensive shot 'from the hip'.

Seconds? I don't think it's possible. I agree with the sidestep. There's another section of this video that's not shown for their "research" & just testing throwing knives vs drawing/racking/firing. Adam was able to fire & side step the knife throw.

Mythbuster's Tueller Drill (aka "knife to a gun fight")

" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I did a search on all Mythbuster's thread (Mythbusters + knife = 0 results) & searched for the Youtube URL, all turned up bumpkis.

So, I saw this & the entire time I'm waiting for them to say "Tueller Driller" (wiki/ article by Tueller). They never did.

Again, it PROVES that 21 feet is that magical number where you don't want to let someone get within. Also, this should prove that one in the chamber is THE ONLY WAY TO GO.

Although, their initial test of running away was flawed. They should've had Jaime an arm's length away at start instead of the "bad breath" distance.

Enjoy & discuss.
