cross draw - to cant or not

[Ten Wolves Fiveshooter]

Actually, if my recaller is working properly (and at my age it sometimes doesn't), Hickock didn't always use the cross-draw.  Sometimes he pulled his pistols the same way I do - left pistol with left hand, right pistol with right hand.

I remember a scene in the TV series Deadwood where one of the Carradine boys (I can never keep them straight), playing Bill Hickock, was standing in the street facing a couple of horsemen.  One of the horsemen went for his gun, and Hickock/Carradine pulled both pistols the way I do and shot both of 'em dead.

  Daniel, I meant to say twist and draw, the mind gets a little crossed and twisted too, thanks for making that correction.

After reading this thread, we are all probably a little twisted!   I am most of the time anyway!!
