New Guy here, I got a Commander a few months ago and I must say, even for a guy who loves automatics, I was madly impressed. After a bit of practice, I almost jumped the first time I snapped out the Emerson with the wave.(I know my friends did). I can't think of anything, save a fixed blade that could be drawn as fast. Only problem was, that the first time I tried to snap it out hard, The knife slipped a bit. I think in a high stress situation, If not dran right, the wave may actually muck things up, or cause an awkward draw. A little practice worked for me, I draw it very naturally now, but I haven't needed it in a high-stress situation.
