Yes, we all talk a big game and say , no problem. But when it comes down to the nut cutting .Can you and will you do it?
Been many a rookie both LEO and military that passed the training w/ flying colors but they froze the first time s--t got real.

If you decide that yes i can and you take the CC course don't stop there, take some tactical courses . decide how you are going to conceal and practice getting your weapon from concealed to a firing position.
When i say practice i mean over and over . your are creating muscle memory . My instructor says 1000 times of drawing the weapon then 1000 times of drawing and going to firing position then the same by drawing, safety off, hammer back, firing position.
make sure that you practice with the weapon that you will carry w/ it fully UNLOADED!
I have watched guys use this technique go from an average shooter to drawing from concealed and having the first round on target in less than 2 seconds.

Snap caps are great for dry fire drills and reload drills. Especially if using a weapon with a single stack mag. Using a shot timer set on random beeb will also help speed up your draw response time. Not that everyone should rush out to buy one but they do help. I would set my timer on 3 seconds and do draw fire reload drills. Of course I was using my competition set up not my cc rig. You are absolutely right that constant practice is needed and a lot of it can be done without burning a bunch of $ in ammo.
