I'm reminded of being punished in Basic by the drill sergeants for calling a weapon a "gun".
"this is my weapon, this is my gun. this one's for shooting, this one's for fun."

A trained officer can remove his firearm from a holster in approximately 1.5 seconds; the same amount of time it takes the average man to charge 7 meters. That's why an officer will draw his weapon if someone threatening is relatively close.
My record is .87 seconds. I held the record in my academy class. A whistle would start us and a timer. The weapon needed to be drawn and 1 accurate shot put down range.
Wait.....what kinda' gun do you mean?

Some of the shooting qualification exercises have Officers drawing their weapons from a secure holster AND firing two rounds into a target within two seconds.

I've never timed it, but I'm pretty sure it is under one second.

You don't have time to check, and it better not be seconds.
