I, too, very much always appreciated the feel of the hand
brake vs. the foot brake when I have been forced to operate in unforeseen duress
conditions. The foot brake operations I've driven, due to the
inherent 'locking' mechanism, make for a two appendage operation as one must
hand-hold the release to foot brake in order to prevent lockup and
excessive slowdown (I DO understand in an emergency
ANY brake is a good brake), whereas a pull and a twist of
the wrist allows for a more 'standard' stop with the hand operated
style......

That is very correct. That is one reason that I like the hand brake for |
