Glen was among the fastest back in the 50s when Fast Draw was very popular. Rodd Redwing taught Ford a little trick. See the vertical strip on the rig just in front of the holster. Glen was very fast with the thumbcock, fire, and with a very quick forward movement he would rake the hammer on the strip, cocking the hammer and firing again. He performed this trick in the movie where he was a killer turned preacher. I believe it was when the young gun challlenged him in front of the church.

I believe when Redwing taught Ford, Redwing had three or four bullet loops with rounds in them placed in that position  to perform this "trick".

Also why he drew his pistol sideways, a la 'gangsta' lol.
The first step of becoming a good shooter is knowing which end the bullet comes out of and being on the other end.
