Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the President... - Theodore Roosevelt, Lincoln and Free Speech, Metropolitan Magazine, Volume 47, Number 6, May 1918.
Every Communist must grasp the truth. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party Mao Zedong, 6 November, 1938 - speech to the Communist Patry of China's sixth Central Committee
Honestly doesn’t make any difference. I can usually hit in the 0.65-0.7 from surrender and about 0.62-0.67 from hand relaxed at sides. Typically in a match I don’t go that fast and have a bad habit of over-conforming sight picture and end up 0.75ish when I get a chance to see the timers and depending on distance. Obviously a 25 yard partial is not the same degree of sight confirmation as a 3 yard open target. But the faster you get your gun out on sights, the faster you can shoot.

My USPA surrender position is mandated to be above shoulders so I use my thumbs to index at my cheek bone for support side and jawline for strong side palms out, to be specific. Learned that from Steve Anderson.

I respectfully disagree with your friend. USPSA gives a LEO an opportunity to practice sight acquisition, trigger control and magazine changes under time. You as a LEO don't have to do everything that everyone you are shooting with does to shave tenths of seconds off their times. You may not place in the top 5, but you get in trigger time with your service pistol.
I shot a lot of matches with my duty rig with Level 3 holster and magazine pouches with snapped flaps. I shot factory 40 S&W ammunition that easily exceeded a power factor of 175. I believe it was a good opportunity to practice some of the fundamentals outside a police range and make new friends.

The problems do progressively get worse. It showed up in the first 100 rounds for me back in ‘10 when I bought it, but by 1,000 it was nearly every round no matter the ammo. It was around 2-3k when I learned about the fixes.
When I finally applied the fixes I never got BTF anymore. Ultimately, I sent that slide to ATEi because it was so reliable and I’ve put 30,000 rounds on it since. It’s been to several classes, USPSA, and daily carried for several years.
