I'll answer these two questions in one answer. I would consider it only if I'm shown a scenario where it would be applicable.
I learned a long time ago never to discount any tactics as long as it has a purpose.
In other words, not an absolute, but an option.
For example I'll use my personal ready positions. If I'm covering a doorway or a potential threat in front of me for what could be an extended period of time then my pistol is going to be tucked in, muzzle parallel to the ground, muzzle also in line with my sternum, elbows in. It a threat suddenly appears I can fire as the weapon is being raised.
Now, if I'm in a stack or an innocent crosses in front of me I can I lower the weapon to the Sul position.
Just my 2 cents.

Haha, no, although being your brother in law wouldn't be a bad thing. The problem is I don't think there is a women out there that can tame you.

I have taught and used this position, once the gun is drawn, for 20 yrs....I think the Position SUL is the best for when you are in tight quarters and don't need to muzzle folks around you. It also has decent retention capability.

Personally, I could snap his(picture) arm inward and feed him that pistol in under a second. God bless him if anyone is behind him. I know where I have seen it used, there was no chance of any sort of H2H attack.
