And also, those two seconds are enough for an assailant to cover thirty or forty feet.
If he's already closer than that to you--and they always try to get as close as possible before letting you know their intentions--you're likely to be in a close-contact situation by the time you even draw your firearm.
Quite true.
And I am surprised that at this point 2 people have voted to not keep a round in the chamber.
This is not a new controversy. Here are two very similar methods to allow a shooter both an almost immediate shot coupled with an empty chamber. Both German and Spanish brands of these one-handed pistols are eminently shootable as well as neat items to show your chums. The Jo-Lo-Ar is a good gun for the shooter who has large hands. There's a video of this in the second link.
None of these guns is terribly expensive although they're not plentiful.
Home defense: Walther PPQ M1
Carry: Walther PPS M1
Keep a round chambered in both.
Own a few others, but those two are the ones currently in daily use/rotation. Keep a round chambered in my other handguns, long guns are loaded but not chambered.
