Since I was able to draw and hit the target at 7 yards in 1.17 seconds -- once, just once -- that means it is possible for me to do it.
So, I have decided that that is my current shooting skills challenge: A consistent hit on a 7-yard A zone in 1.17 seconds or less from concealment.
This will not be easy, at least not for me, hence a proper challenge.
So today, I set the timer for a part time of 1.5 seconds in an effort to start getting my draw time more consistently lower.
After clearing the room of ammo, which is easy as ammo is never stored in that room, I then triple checked the pistol was clear, holstered up and began to practice.
Spent 25 minutes doing draws on an A-Zone at 7 yards away, trying to make sure I had a good sight picture onn the target and touching the trigger before the second beep.
Sometimes it worked, sometimes I rushed and did not have a good sight picture.
Stopped after getting it down to a consistent draw under 1.5 ending with a the dot right on the target and finger touching the trigger.
Next, I'm going to start chasing the 1.4.
A decent bit of practice, and a step on the way towards the 1.17.

I am not a shootist. However, I do have a bit of industrial experience in minimizing nonvalue added time to tasks.
May I suggest that having the holster in exactly the same orientation EVERY time might be important. So might how your outer clothing drapes and layers. "Loafing position" is often overlooked as a variable.
Again, I know nothing about what you are wearing or how you are orienting toward the potential threat, but thought I would throw in my two cents just so you know I am reading your blog posts and thinking about the content.
