Answering in order:
1) Appendix requires a closed front garment to conceal the gun, and while extremely fast draws are possible due to the gun being situated toward centerline, they require both hands. (Support hand clearing garment, dominant hand drawing gun.) Because many self-defense situations leave you with only one hand to perform the draw (holding light or communication device, pushing victim out of way, fending off very close attacker, etc.), you'll want to do half your practice one-handed. I've personally found that distinctly slower than sweeping an open-front garment and drawing from strong-side hip one-handed.

2) Your speeds are indeed reasonable. Practice will get you faster, and so may coaching that might streamline your movement pattern.

Best of luck,
Mas

Thanks, Mas.

Great point about going one handed.

I usually carry two:
1) 640 in the pocket, particularly for one handed draw.
2) One IWB.
