The one-on-one gunfight with revolvers is a derivation of the more ancient practice of duelling with flintlock pistols and before that, the duel with swords. Thus, a key characteristic of many gunfighters in The Western and other genres is their ability to field their weapon of choice with lightning speed. This is critical to their ability to deliver the Instant Death Bullet rather than receive it, although they may choose to blast the gun out of their adversary's hand. Other cliches include having two guns on the gun belt, thus allowing shooting with a gun in each hand. This is not Truth in Television. There are few records of such fights ever happening, probably because without the mentioned Instant Death Bullet, being a split second faster will not save your life even if you are also accurate. This is instead a case where the fictional trope shaped popular understanding of history. Which of course led to it being expected in any genre work depicting said history. Because the trope is so well evolved, there are many refinements. Guns and holsters are commonly altered to make the quick draw more effective. Subverting the quick draw by removing an adversary's ammunition before the showdown is a well-known ploy. Shooting from the hip is a way to improve the speed of the draw at the expense of accuracy. You may also have the firearm in an apparatus that sends it directly into your hand. The Western Showdown at High Noon among shooters is the classic setting for this trope, but it can appear in pretty much every genre with guns, and the best of best at this game will often earn the title of Fastest Gun in the West. The sword analog of this trope is the Iaijutsu Practitioner in a Single-Stroke Battle. Not to be confused with the 2013-2014 Hulu series. |

In Serenity (2005), Mal finds himself up against The Operative who is a more skilled opponent, but Mal has a faster draw as seen in their final confrontation. The Operative's Static Stun Gun is already drawn and Mal still draws and fires before the Operative can get a shot off, sending him diving for cover. This is pointed out in the film's commentary. | |

From "Calderone's Return" on Miami Vice. A hitman, posing as a limo driver, decides that There Is No Kill Like Overkill and empties a shotgun into the limo. One of the dead man's bodyguards appears out of nowhere and makes him drop the shotgun. Holding the hitman at gunpoint, the bodyguard makes the mistake of shifting his gaze to the destroyed limo... Even more noteworthy because they got an actual pistol champion to play the hitman. |

Rocketship Voyager. The holster used by Spacefleet officers to hold their service pistol unlocks on sensing the owner's palmprint and pushes the butt into their hand for this trope. Captain Janeway puts this to good effect (albeit for a Mercy Kill rather than a gunfight) by drawing and firing her Colt .51 recoilless before a roomful of trigger-happy bodyguards have a chance to react. It doesn't hurt that she has a habit of standing with her hands on her hips, putting her hands conveniently close to her holster. | |

Paladin in Have Gun – Will Travel. In one episode, he's forced into a gunfight and wins. That doesn't make him this trope. The enemy was a professional gunslinger who's stated to have killed twelve men. That's still not what makes him fit this trope. No, what makes him fit this trope is that he let the professional draw first, and still managed to kill his opponent before the man even got off a shot. | |

RoboCop (2014): Murphy walks into the police station and confronts a fellow officer with evidence of him being a Dirty Cop. Despite the evidence playing on the computer screens for the entire department to see (or perhaps because of this) he decides to draw his weapon to kill Robocop, who is sitting right in front of him with his armoured visor up, suffering visible gunshot damage from an earlier battle. Unfortunately Murphy's enhanced cyborg reflexes are working just fine, and his software accurately predicts that the soon-to-be victim is about to shoot him. | |

The climax of El Camino sees Jesse face off with Neil, the welder who helped keep him imprisoned at the neo-Nazi compound. Neil challenges him to a quick draw duel over $1,800, the last chunk of change Jesse needs before he can finally earn his freedom. Neil is a very quick shot, but not quick enough to beat Jesse just shooting a concealed gun through through his jacket pocket instead of taking his chances. | |

Honor Harrington: In Field of Dishonor, Honor puts four rounds into a professional duellist, before he can even get one shot off. Unfortunately for the duellist, Honor grew up practicing pistoleering for sport as an active member of the Society for Creative Anachronismnote for context: Note that this series takes place a few millennia into the future, and all powder-fired weapons are considered a few steps up from swords. Also note that Honor was born with genetic modifications which made her able to be faster and more accurate while shooting from the hip than her opponent. She was also pissed off because he had killed her lover, which has to be a trope but I can't find it at this time. | |

In Rob Grant's solo Red Dwarf novel, Backwards, in the western section based on the "Gunmen Of The Apocalypse" episode, this happens a few times. The Cat's Riviera Kid alter ego has this as his special skill and Lister's Brett Riverboat character can do this with knives. Death, however, takes the cake. He manages to draw, fire and reholster his revolver in the middle of a speech. The whole thing takes less than the amount of time it takes him to say the word "point" and he lands a shot right in the middle of The Cat's forehead. | |

Trigun has an episode called "Quick Draw", in which Vash and Nicholas enter a quick draw competition to give the reward to a family in need. Vash being Vash and Nicholas being a priest, both are opposed to killing, but they can manage nonlethal shots. One gunman uses a particularly novel trick; he wears his clothes backwards and uses a Latex Perfection mask to pretend he's walking backwards before the draw when he actually never faces away from his opponent, so he doesn't have to turn around to shoot. | |

The eponymous Quickdraw Battlemech in MechWarrior Online is not necessarily quicker to fire its weapons, but it has a bonus of an aim speed boost to its arm mounted weapons. This means it can line up the first shot or a reaction shot much faster than, say, a lumbering Dragon. For skilled pilots, this often means an easier time lining up a pair of lethal headshots from the 'Mech's arm mounted laser battery. | |

In The Mandalorian the titular hero takes out an opponent this way more than once. On a least one occasion, it's framed exactly as a Showdown at High Noon, then subverted when his opponent moves to lay down his weapon...only for the opponent to unexpectedly draw a hidden pistol from his boot...then played straight as the Mandalorian proves to be the faster draw, even caught off guard. | |

Occurs in the first episode (but in no other) of Deadwood. Wild Bill Hickok and Seth Bullock are interrogating a man. When he suddenly goes for his gun, Bullock and Hickok beat him to the draw and gun him down. Bullock earns some bad ass cred by being almost as fast as Hickok. If you watch it in slow motion, you can see that Bill is indeed the faster draw, but not by much (and that's no guarantee that it wasn't Bullock's shot that got the guy either). |

Mario Party: Mario Party 2: The duel minigame for Western Land involves a quick draw with cork guns. The player who presses A first after "Go" will fire first, win and get the coins that both players bet. If you fire too soon, you'll get a warning the first time, and lose the second time. Bowser has a gun duel with the winning player, resulting in both firing their shots at the same time — Bowser misses but the winning player hits. Mario Party 5: In the minigame Shy Guy Showdown, two dueling characters have to wait until the Shy Guy host shows with a flag what button to press so the quickest-acting player shoots ink at the other. If a character presses the wrong button, or presses any button too early or when the host raises a flag showing a nonsensical icon or a non-button letter, they'll have their gun's ink splash their face and be disqualified. |

Deathworld: The junkmen use powerful handguns kept in a holster on the upper arm with a microchip inserted in the gun hand that senses when certain muscles tense. The gun then jumps out into the hand and immediately fires (the gun has no trigger guard), then returns to the holster. All this can take less than a second. The protagonist has this demonstrated to him when he tries to quickly pull out his own gun and point it at Kerk Pyrrus, only to see a very large barrel pointed between his eyes before his gun is halfway up. | |

In the Resident Evil novelizations by S.D Perry, namely the first one entitled The Umbrella Conspiracy, we learn more about the S.T.A.R.S backstories and skills. For instance, Chris Redfield is known as the marksman of the S.T.A.R.S Alpha Team, edging out his friendly rival in the Bravo Team, Forest Speyer. However, Barry Burton reflects that, while Chris is the better "take aim and make your shot" marksman, Barry excels at the Quick draw, hitting his target unerringly from the hip. Given Barry's established role as the S.T.A.R.S weapons specialist, gun connoisseur, his membership with the N.R.A and his particular love for Revolvers (namely, his beloved Colt Python .357 Magnum), this is understandable. | |

In the classic Jack Schaefer novel, Shane goes into detail about the basic technique as well as many of the refinements practiced by others (two guns, the pistol-on-a-swivel, etc.).

A higher Agility stat in Fallout: New Vegas means you pull out and reload weapons faster. There is also a perk called "Quick Draw" that cuts whatever your reload speed is by 1/3. Both are more important for switching weapons, because you'll usually be able to see a fight coming and having your weapon out only gives a penalty to movement speed if it's two-handed. In his old vaquero days, Raul Tejada was a talented quick draw who had fast hands. By settling his personal quest and encouraging him to be a gunfighter once again, he gains a perk that gets him a fire rate bonus to revolvers and lever-action rifles. | |

Kingdom Hearts III: Re��Mind: Data Xigbar has the unique "Showdown" Situation Command that triggers a sequence where Sora and Xigbar prepare to duel. Pressing the Attack button right when Xigbar shoots allows Sora to dodge to the side and fire a bolt of light, momentarily stunning Xigbar and leaving him wide open. | |

Mario Party 2: The duel minigame for Western Land involves a quick draw with cork guns. The player who presses A first after "Go" will fire first, win and get the coins that both players bet. If you fire too soon, you'll get a warning the first time, and lose the second time. Bowser has a gun duel with the winning player, resulting in both firing their shots at the same time — Bowser misses but the winning player hits. | |

Mario Party 5: In the minigame Shy Guy Showdown, two dueling characters have to wait until the Shy Guy host shows with a flag what button to press so the quickest-acting player shoots ink at the other. If a character presses the wrong button, or presses any button too early or when the host raises a flag showing a nonsensical icon or a non-button letter, they'll have their gun's ink splash their face and be disqualified. | |

Tom Cruise's amoral, disarmingly charming but deadly hitman character Vincent from Collateral. So fast that he can draw a pistol from a holster high up on his hip, almost in the small of his back (which is not really conducive to a fast draw) and get off five very accurate shots in less than two seconds, killing two men. One of whom was already pointing a gun at his face. It helped that they had no idea how dangerous he was and closed within arm's reach of him, allowing Vincent to knock the gun away with one hand while simultaneously drawing his gun with the other. By the time the two jerks realized they'd messed with the wrong man, they were already dead. | |

Both men approach the duel in good faith. Colt wins. Despite shooting left-handed, as his right (dominant) arm is still in a sling. | |

Ghost in the Shell (2017) plays with the trope a bit, by having both prominent quick draws involve Aramaki, an elderly old-school Japanese cop, first against a team of corporate mercenaries, and later against an American Corrupt Corporate Executive. Both times the old Japanese cop ends the fight within seconds. | |

Edition 3.5 (and, of course, Pathfinder) has this as an a feat that allows you do draw your weapon (anything from a hand crossbow to a knife to a BFS) as a free action. Very useful for rogues, ninjas and other stealthy types, as well as general fighting in difficult places. Note that here, ammunition is also by default this, as are shuriken; if you're badass enough to get more than one shot (or star) in a round, and you don't have to muck about with loading your weapon, you just get the shots, no new feats required. | |

Dungeons & Dragons 1st Edition Oriental Adventures. The Iaijutsu skill allowed the user to draw a melee weapon with blinding speed, thus avoiding any combat penalties. Edition 3.5 (and, of course, Pathfinder) has this as an a feat that allows you do draw your weapon (anything from a hand crossbow to a knife to a BFS) as a free action. Very useful for rogues, ninjas and other stealthy types, as well as general fighting in difficult places.

In 4th Edition, drawing weapons is a little bit easier for most classes, but it's still useful for classes like the rogue who can Back Stab an enemy they get the drop on for massive damage. Plus, Rule of Cool, you know? |

Black Lagoon. Yakuza thug Chaka challenges Revy to a quick draw contest, with them drawing when the soda can he's holding hits the floor. But Revy has such contempt for him she charges at Chaka and knocks him down with a kick to the face. She then leads him to Ginji, who challenges Chaka to his own quick draw contest, with Ginji only armed with a samurai sword. Ginji wins and Revy can't resist challenging him herself. He turns her down the first time, but not the second. | |

He's a fan of Westerns so he kidnaps Hunter and says he will duel him for his life. Hunter shoots the gun out of his hand, then repeatedly shoots the pistol as the man keeps grabbing for it. This was despite a previous episode where Hunter ridiculed the idea of Blasting It Out of Their Hands. | |

In a Hitman story, one-shot antagonist Manko was able to light a cigarette, drop the lighter, draw, shoot three men, re-holster his gun, and then catch the still-lit lighter before it hit the ground. Averted in another issue, where Tommy is facing a telepathic mutant who can outdraw anyone by reading when they've decided to draw and shooting them right then. The solution, as Nat puts it, is to have your buddy (Nat) sneak up behind and blow the mutant's head off with a shotgun. |

In the Back to the Future trilogy, Marty McFly, surprisingly, turns out to be a talented quick-draw artist, from time spent in his local 7-Eleven playing Wild Gunman. He's just shown to be a "crack shot" at the game in Back to the Future Part II, but his talent really shows in Back to the Future Part III when he is challenged to a 19th Century shooting range and manages to shoot every single target — before this point, he'd probably never used a real gun in his life. His first shot goes completely wild because he wasn't prepared for the kick and he was being made to use his left hand, but he does absolutely perfect on his second attempt after switching. | |

Mechwarrior, BattleTech's RPG spinoff game, features the skill Quickdraw, which allows the character to perform a simple action before initiative is rolled. This includes but is not limited to drawing one-handed weapons before combat starts (amusingly, later errata notes that grenades count as one-handed weapons). If they have their weapons already out, they are technically allowed to declare a preemptive attack. | |

In the first Rush Hour movie, Detective Carter is able to drop from a standing position, fire an ankle-holstered gun, stabilize his aim with his off-hand, and get a kill shot, in the time it takes the assassin Sang to draw and shoot a waist-holstered gun. In the second film, in the time Kenny takes to assume his fighting stance, Carter has his gun out and aimed at Kenny's head. Because of the Over the Shoulder camera shot, viewers can see Jackie Chan's Inspector Lee visibly startled. An earlier shot does show that about 8 seconds prior, Carter has his hands on his hips, and subtly moved his suit jacket out of the way of his draw, in case the weapon was necessary. | |

At the same time two hitmen are being trained to assassinate him. Bodie and Doyle practise their quick draw and are even shown polishing the inside of their shoulder holsters. Eventually Bodie and a hitman run into each other at the same time and draw their revolvers—fortunately Bodie is faster. | |

Al Capone episode of Deadliest Warrior, Champion Gunslinger Joey Dillion (who was testing weapons for the Jesse James side) was able to draw and accurately fire his twin Colt revolvers in a quarter of a second in contrast to the Al Capone expert who took half a second to lift and fire his tommy gun The Tommy Gun still got the edge due to More Dakka. | |

Rango: Rattlesnake Jake can pump out huge amounts of fire from his Gatling tail, but he can also unleash a quick burst with uncanny accuracy and speed. He pops Wounded Bird from halfway across town based on nothing but the sound of Wounded Bird's gun cocking. | |

Jack Holloway in Little Fuzzy. Someone cried a warning, he turned, going for his pistol, and saw a Mook pointing a gun at him. As two different people commented afterward, pulling a gun on Jack Holloway is simply a way of committing suicide. | |

An episode of Sliders has the characters slide into a world where Texas is an independent republic that also includes other states such as California. Modern technology and culture exist alongside Wild West rules, and office buildings alongside saloons. A "hostile takeover" has a whole different meaning here, and gunslingers are frequently hired by businessmen to take care of competition via this trope. Naturally, the heroes get mixed up in one when Quinn accidentally gets involved in a duel with a well-known gunslinger and ends up killing him. An instant celebrity (although he later finds out the guy was actually shot by a widow of one of his kills), Quinn is now the target of a Corrupt Corporate Executive who hires another famous gunslinger to take him down. Quinn ends up dropping his weapon, and the gunslinger refuses to kill an unarmed man in broad daylight. The businessman is arrested for his illegal practices. | |

As with a lot of things in the Star Trek: New Frontier series, subverted by Mackenzie Calhoun. He blasts a prisoner with a phaser just before the prisoner could shoot his captain, and all the witnesses claimed Calhoun must be a lightning-fast quick draw. Turns out Calhoun had already decided to execute the prisoner (to spare his captain's tortured soul), and didn't even realize the guy had a weapon until a split-second before pressing the trigger. Subverted again in another novel where Calhoun finds himself facing an opponent that he knows is faster on the draw than him. He gets around this by planting mining charges underneath where they're going to have their duel and then leading his opponent into position before pushing the button on the remote trigger. |

The Saint of Killers from Preacher is explicitly described as having a draw so fast the policemen attacking him only saw blurs. This also serves to neutralize the protagonist's Compelling Voice. The first time the two met the Saint was taken by surprise and forced to obey Jesse's commands. The next time they met the Saint threatened to shoot Jesse the exact second he heard a single syllable from him, and Jesse (wisely) decided not to try his luck then, or any other time the two met. | |

The Executioner. Mack Bolan is not only a Cold Sniper but is skilled with a handgun as well. In one book he tosses a marksman's medal at the feet at a Mafia boss. The boss bends over to pick it up while whispering to his bodyguard, "Take him!" Witnesses afterwards are in dispute whether Bolan let him draw first, but the coroner finds a bullethole through the bodyguard's hand into his heart (showing he was killed in mid-draw) and another hole in the top of the boss' head (showing he never had the time to straighten up after picking up the medal). | |

3:10 to Yuma (2007) had Ben Wade, one of the two main characters in the film, show that his reputation as a formidable gun fighter is well earned. In the ending he shoots all six bullets out of his revolver before any of his gang members can even so much as breath in his direction let alone react to him. What makes it even more amazing is that he doesn't fan the hammer of his revolver with his other hand, this quick draw is done with just one hand. | |

In Disco Elysium, the Player Character can pull this off against Major Kortenaer, provided that their Hand-Eye Coordination skill is up to snuff and/or they are able to distract him long enough by besting him psychologically through a combination of reading his body language and using any accumliated knowledge about his past against him. Do so successfully, and you will effectively take him out of action and throw his goons into disarray. | |

Sort of done in Time Trax. While tracking down yet another temporal fugitive, Darien meets and befriends a Texas Ranger, who also turns out to be from the future but has reformed. The man teacher Darien how to "shoot from the hip" rather than how Darien was taught at the 22nd century police academy. Naturally, this proves useful to take down the criminal (although he uses his PPT instead of a gun to send the fugitive back to the future). | |

While The Punisher generally relies on thorough planning, surprise, overwhelming firepower, hitting his opponents at their weak point, and getting the drop on his targets, he has also been shown to be incredibly fast on the draw. Part of the reason for this is that he doesn't waste time talking or looking for a nonviolent solution. If violence is called for, his guns are coming out from under his badass longcoat in a hurry. He once had to deal with a Carnival of Killers, one of which was said to "draw faster'n greased lightning" and quick enough to dodge a bullet. So Frank ambushes him in his car and empties an uzi into him. |

Blake's 7 Professional Killer Soolin joins our anti-heroes in the final season. In "Gold", she kills two guards approaching from opposite directions before Avon has a chance to fire, and in "Games" she even beats herself in a Quick Draw against a Deadly Game that's designed to match and then exceed her own performance. Her Establishing Character Moment shows this trope best. In "Death Watch" a war is fought via Combat by Champion, but one side cheats by using an android. When the two champions agree to settle matters with a Quick Draw showdown, the android instantly outdraws his opponent, despite the latter being an experienced gunfighter famous for his Quick Draw. The question then becomes for our heroes, how do you defeat an opponent who's faster than human? |

In GANTZ, Izumi challenges Kurono to a quick draw duel at the end of his murderous shooting spree with the life of Kei's girlfriend Tae at stake. It's hardly a fair contest for Kurono as Izumi is armed with a pistol while he only has a Gantz gun — which is devastatingly destructive but functionally almost useless for duelling because of the massive time lag between the gun being fired and the target suffering the horrific effects. Regardless, he has no choice but to go ahead with it. They both raise their guns but Izumi shoots and Kurono goes down without his gun lighting up, which would indicate he got a shot off. However, as Izumi exults in his victory and heads over to kill Tae, Kurono pulls the SECOND trigger on his gun, having worked out that pulling one trigger locks the gun onto a target and then pulling the second fires a shot that can't miss. Knowing that if Izumi saw him fire he might turn and kill Tae out of spite before the shot reached him, and that getting hit wouldn't be an Instant Death Bullet unless it hit him in the head, he let Izumi shoot him, then fired from the ground, blowing Izumi's head off once he'd stopped paying attention to Kuruno. Batman Gambit at its finest (with a bit of Thanatos Gambit). | |

Being a gun/sword slinger, the Kusagari-with-no-name from Red Steel 2 is a great example. Switching from sword to gun is instant, and the bullet lands in the target before the swap animation can even start. It's in first person, so there's no visual clue to see how he actually pulls it off. He can even quick draw the rifle. | |

This is the signature ability of John Cooper, the protagonist of Desperados series. In the original game, he was able to take out up to three enemies with a single quick draw. The prequel cuts this down to two. | |

The Book of Boba Fett: Chapter 6 opens with Cobb Vanth drawing against a group of Pyke spice smugglers, easily outdrawing them and scaring them away from Freetown. At the end of the episode Cad Bane walks into town and confronts Vanth. This leads to a Mexican Standoff between Bane, Vanth and Vanth's deputy. Bane wins; shooting Vanth in the shoulder and killing the deputy before either can fire. Chapter 7 sees Bane facing off against Boba Fett this way. Once again, Bane draws faster but Boba's beskar armour tanks the blow. When Bane walks closer to inflict the Coup de Grâce it puts him in range for Boba to kill him with a melee blow from his gaderffi stick. |

Deputy Langley is a quick draw practitioner in Ghost Town (1988). The opening scene is him practicing his draw in a junkyard, with the timer recording his draw as .34 of a second. Later in the film, it seems his skill is useless when he wins the Showdown at High Noon against Devlin, only to learn that the undead outlaw is immune to bullets. Then Langley learns that the sheriff's pistol can kill Devlin... | |

As noted in Film above, Mal Reynolds of Firefly displays a combination of speed and accuracy to beat people with their gun already drawn on him in the first episode. Fun fact: the guy survives being shot in the eye and comes back for revenge in a follow-up comic. Mal obliges and shoots him in the other eye. |

The Quick and the Dead is full of this, being as it is about a quick draw competition. Notably, Keith David's character doesn't have a conventional holster — his gun is attached to a pivot on his belt (a Bridgeport Rig, also discussed in "Real Life" below), letting him fire from the hip without drawing it. | |

Just like his comic book counterpart, Jon Bernthal's The Punisher (2017) is quite the ice-cold gunslinger. His most memorable quick draw moment is being confronted, empty-handed, by six armed men. The leader points out he's outnumbered... and less than three seconds later, all but the leader are dead. And Frank still has questions. Made all the more impressive because Frank is using his signature 1911 pistol, which only holds eight rounds... and he didn't use them all. Six shots. Three seconds. Five fatalities, one disarmed, wounded prisoner. | |
