I would hope most of us are practicing regularly or at least semi-regularly. Granted we know most ranges won’t let you fire from concealment if they let you fire from a draw at all.
One of the guys at the office has one of those iTarget things; usually run at least a few dozen *draw and first shot* drills every time I’ve got Plastic Fantastic.

Not a bad idea and sounds fun, but not really practical for practicing with a self-defense setup as no one caries revolvers lol.If you handload, practicing at home is easy with a revolver.
Simply prime a case, and force it into a shallow pan of wax.
Easy practice ammo you can shoot inside of your house at a hanging blanket.
I use commercially available rubber projectiles for practicing in my shop. Same principle.
I have to admit that although I do not conceal carry, i may put on a holster when I do a long walk with the pups late at night. Ido have a couple of holsters that I'll put on and practice drawing and sighting. I will pretend that I am in a situation and draw as fast as I feel comfortably and in control of my firearm. I will practice walking into a different room in my home and draw as if I were suprised by an intruder. I will say that my weapon is NOT loaded when doing this. I'm no outlaw or Billy badass but I do feel comfortable with my ability to draw and aim if the situation would arise. I've even ran and gone for cover then re targeted sometimes. Admittingly it's kinda goofy but I'm again, confident in my abilities to defend self and family.
Stealing a quote from someone way smarter than me, that goes "men typically don't rise to the occasion, but rather fall to their level of training. " Dry fire practice is wonderful, but nothing can replace range time. Shot timers are great, and help you drive yourself. Remember, attack the holster/retention at 110% speed, and use the time saved to find that front sight and deliver a smooth squeeze. Repetition makes habits, and habits save lives.
Be safe.

Key point to add is to reholster SLOW. I see a lot of guys at the range rushing reholstering and that is an easy way to have an AD.
I constantly tell shooters to "Draw Fast and Holster Slow". Many want to holster as fast as they draw.
There is no award for putting your gun away the fastest.
Brightly colored IWB holsters help you to visually inspect the inside of the holster prior to holstering.
On a LEO line they are taught to slowly scan and slowly holster without looking at the holster.
