Drawing a weapon is normally a move action. If your BAB is +1 or greater you can combine drawing a weapon with a regular move. Basically it becomes a 'free action'.
A 5' step is not a regular move so I presume you can still draw your weapon, but it will still cost a move action. Meaning only a single attack (standard action) or move equivalent action* can follow.
*if I'm reading it right you can still swap your standard action for a move action as long as you don't actually move any distance on account of having already taken a 5' step...
I'm making a switch ranger for PFS and I'm trying to determine how long I can prolong taking QuickDraw. If I've read and understand everything correctly I can put if off until I get my first iterative attack without really losing out on anything.
I'm playing a Switch Ranger/Horizon Walker in a home game and I took QuickDraw as my 1st level feat. It's been handy for sure, but I wouldn't call it essential. I may not even end up taking it. I figure I can take a wait & see approach.

As our group plays and interprets it the drawing of a weapon is part of the regular move, but not necessarily a "Free Action". Also, we allow a PC to draw his weapon as part of a 5' step if he meets the other requirements.
If you are asking for how that plays in PFS it might be better to post your question in their topics. I don't follow PFS so I wouldn't know.
Just my 2 cp.

A 5 ft step is not a regular move, so you can't do it.
If you move 5 ft with a regular move then you could do it.

PFS runs things by the book, so the question is appropriate to ask here in the rules forum as it deals with published PFRPG rules. The PFS forums are for campaign-specific questions, not PFRPG rules questions.
Anyway, you can draw a weapon as a free action combined with a "regular move". The 5ft step is a special kind of movement, and therefore does not apply.
