Interesting article I think, from "Force Science Institute".
While directed to LEO's the same applies for the non LEO CCW, maybe even more so.
From the article,
"First, armed attacks can occur without warning and can be extremely fast. In the vast majority of officer fatalities involving firearms, officers could not draw their handguns, let alone return fire. These confrontations occurred at extremely close range and often included accurate head and neck shot placement."

Training to Get Hit
"Basic firearm training puts a lot of emphasis on “static line” shooting. This motor skill training is conducted in a “closed motor action” environment. Closed motor skills are performed in a stationary environment, where the environment is fixed and predictable. Suppose firearms training never advances beyond closed motor skills training. In those cases, agencies may be conditioning officers to perform the opposite response to what is needed for optimal performance in real-world force encounters."

When officers repeatedly practice drawing their gun without moving their head or feet, what are they likely to do when an offender suddenly produces a weapon?
