Ethan Edwards,
I'd bet that TOM MIX was one of the fastest "draws", if not the FASTEST. =- Tom Mix was a REAL cowboy, as well as an actor & was said to be DEADLY quick/accurate with his .38-40 Colt's SA.
Once on a set of an early "talkie", Tom Mix shot the head off of a rattlesnake with real bullets, when that snake threatened to delay continuing the "film shoot".
(I'd bet the FACT that Tom Mix was carrying real ammo in his revolver "got everyone's attention".)
yours, tex
