Your scenario of being <1 foot away and being drawn on in surprise ...wouldn't that dictate the use of a different tactic due to the close range involved. Due to him having the drop on you already at that range, wouldn't a H2H disarming tactic or strike to deflect his weapon away from your midline be better as your initial response verses trying outshoot a suspect that has already drawn down on you? I would think your chances are slim to none if you try to draw/aim or "point"/fire faster than he can simply pull his trigger.
Just a question.. I am not LE or by any means someone like the TS... Just asking a question. Thanks

Its your discreation. Do you want to duke it out fist to gun or go to guns on the guy?
I personally might try and trap the gun while I shove one of my knives through his larynx past his upper palet trying to get his brain stem (it would be a lucky shot but who knows). Or trap the weapon and stick my gun to his head. It all depends METT-T dependent. As this scenario goes your close REAL close and you are behind the curve so you need to do something to survive. I have done enough martial arts and defensive tacitcs to know that in a situation like this you need to comit to something disarming him may take too long or he may have backed away from you enough to catch you overly commited and completely outstretched.
This is what we call a "What-if" scenario that I/we do all the time. That way you have a plan in case this does happen. What you do is your decision but it maybe your last. In short I DON'T have the correct answer. Sorry.
