Can somebody explain how the butt-forward carrying style makes for a quick draw? I understand how it might be useful when driving a car or something like that, but otherwise I would think that it would slow you down when slapping leather.
In HBO's Deadwood Bill Hickock carries his Colts butt-forward and he is the quickest draw around. This is supposed to have been a common carrying style according to many dubious references. What gives?
