I feel that in a life or death situation the last thing I want worry about is trying to draw my pistol and rack the slide to get a round in. From the stories I read, it doesn't happen the way you see in movies. No pointing the pistol at the attacker, talking to them for a little bit, then racking the slide to load the pistol so that they know your'e serious and will shoot.
Bottom line, When speed is important, I won't waste time loading my pistol.
One in the chamber - cocked and locked.
