50s/60s OK cops quick draw demonstration video

Cool. Likely not terribly practical, but still cool.

I suspect he's not using modern retention holsters...

Yeah, lots of practice!

Looks like he did it for years.

He's got some interesting details in this one. It's probably great that we can't see the photos that he was holding up.

Bill Jordan was another very accomplished exhibition shooter back in his day. He is also responsible for the S&W Combat Magnum, the .357 magnum on the small K frame. Prior to that, S&W used their much larger N frame, the same as the .44 magnum, to house the .357. The smaller K frame is much easier to pack around all day, especially in a duty holster, getting in and out of a car.



Two S&W revolvers, N frame on the top, K frame on the bottom, the same Combat Magnum Mr. Jordan is using, now known as the Model 19. Quite a difference in size and weight.
