The first priority is not to get the gun out of the holster.

I'll say it again, because people tend to ignore or overlook it: "The first priority is not getting the gun out of the holster."

The first priority is getting the gun safely on target. To do so you have to draw it from the holster, but you also have to establish a good strong hand grip, use a smooth draw stroke, add your support hand, and establish sight alignment.

All of those other things are as important as actually getting the gun out; without them, jerking the gun out quickly is useless.

There is very little motion in a fast/smooth draw. Once you practice (practice... practice... practice... ) your properly smooth draw, there will come a day when you're astonished that the gun is in your hand and on target so quickly. And by "there will come a day", I don't mean that it takes years. With a week or so of consistently practicing a smooth slow draw, you'll find the truth of "slow is smooth, smooth is fast".
