This video, featuring an experienced instructor, compares the speed of engaging a target from a draw with a non-chambered semi-auto, a chambered semi-auto (specifically mentioning the Sig P320), and a revolver. The drill demonstrates that revolvers are fastest, followed by chambered semi-autos, and then non-chambered semi-autos. The instructor highlights the tactical disadvantage of carrying a semi-auto without a round in the chamber due to the added time to rack the slide, which can be critical in self-defense scenarios. For those uncomfortable carrying a chambered semi-auto, revolvers are presented as a viable alternative.
