outdrawn
Beat to draw
Outdrawn is the past participle of outdraw.
In the most common sense, to outdraw is to attract a larger audience or crowd than someone else: The local band outdrawn the touring act.
In Western contexts, it means to draw a gun faster than an opponent—if you've been outdrawn, the other shooter got their weapon out first.
