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.

For those uncomfortable carrying a chambered semi-auto, revolvers are presented as a viable alternative.
