Both are masters in their own chosen game. You cannot compare the two as apples to apples. Both are far from real combat shooting skills.
Fast draw is an entire competition with rules and the equipment and techniques are (like any form of competition) pushed to the limits the rules allow. It's main goal to to draw, fire and holster in as short of time as possible. Blanks or wax bullets are used. Stationary shooting position, targets are very close. Not very realistic to actual combat.
Miculek is the real deal in his game. These guns are modified for speed loading, shotguns have larger extension mags (that are too weak for real combat), red dot or optical sights, extra ammo in open, quick to access holders, etc. In short far from real life as the fast draw game. Just different. And the loads they shoot are light loads, not full combat loads. The most hits in the shortest period of time is the winner. Still not very realistic to combat.
To deride one over the other is baseless. Both excell at their own game. Both use "showmanship" to entertain. Both are not realistic shooting skills in actual combat.
