fast draw

Holster-to-fire speed

Fast draw is the skill of drawing a holstered handgun and firing it as quickly as possible—a technique romanticized in Western films where gunslingers face off in the street.

As a competitive sport, fast draw uses specially designed holsters and often blank or wax ammunition: He practices fast draw every weekend at the range.

Someone who is fast on the draw reacts quickly to any situation.
