Quick Draw Old West Style.
I watched the classic movie Tombstone again and I was wondering if anyone has opinions on why certain notable gunfighters were faster draws than others? It’s not that complex to draw a pistol from a hip and fire at a stationary target a few feet away. Is it just faster reflexes or some technique difference? The seen with Doc Holiday and Johnny Ringo is a good example. The only thing I can see is remaining calm and efficient, rather than being nervous. That’s easier said than done obviously.

I suspect the whole "quick draw" thing is more hollywood than historic.

Just like anything else, there*s always some that will be better and faster than most others.
Today was a good day!

I think modern romanticists would be shocked to learn the old western gun fighting style was not much different that what we see today in the hood. Lots of ambushes, shooting in the back, murders out in the woods, shooting victims from darkened alleyways etc. I think Wyatt Earp said "Hurry but take your time" or something to that effect

Superior reactions, fast twitch muscles and technique. I*m not sure why it would be a mystery.
