caught a clip of Tombstone, Doc Holiday managed some how to get 19 (that I counted ) shots out of a pair of six shooters. Did anyone notice that ?

Sounds like a grock of grit.
He could reload even faster than he could draw. You just missed it, that's all.
Maybe he was sporting two small caliber 10 round revolvers.
He's a fast reloader.
Hollywood and reality rarely meet.
19 is not even the record for a single revolver.
The guns only empty when it is written into the script!
This is the first I've ever heard of this type of thing happening.
Read a satire of a western some years back: If you're the good guy you can depend on your sidearm to hold at least a dozen rounds when you get in a shootout. Shooting guns out of the bad guys hands is an easy trick, so is shooting the bad guy behind the rocks on top the canyon wall hundreds of yards away. Oh and if you have a long way to ride, pull out that guitar you'll find behind your saddle and play a song- you're bound to arrive where ever you need to be as soon as you finish whatever song you play.
