Drawing your weapon is fine. Raising and firing your weapon from a low ready position is fine. However quickdraw firing is a no go for me, as most AD self inflicted gunshot wounds tend to happen when unholstering/holstering your weapon. Even if you are samurai jack with a pistol there can always be an oh shit moment. Better in my opinion to practice drawing and firing independently of each other. If you do practice drawing and firing make sure your acquiring your target before putting your finger in the boom guard. I practice drawing my weapon and bringing it up on target after I've cleared it and I practice trigger pull/live fire independently. From both my opinion and real world stats you should never try and draw on someone who clearly has the drop on you, it does not end well. Thus I find the need for quickdraw firing practice to be about nil. Bide your time and wait for, or create an opening to draw and fire.

Does that include crouching down, using two hands, thus reducing my target zone?
