Line 21:
* Despite his reluctance to use guns, [[Batman]].
* [[Lucky Luke]]: his signature move is ''[[Up to Eleven|outdrawing his own shadow]]''.
* Juan Gimenez' comic ''8 y ½'' (part of the ''Cuestión de Tiempo'' series) has an interesting variation. Rock Murphy is a cowboy who is a downright supernaturally
* In a ''[[Hitman]]'' story, one-shot antagonist Manko was able to light a cigarette, drop the lighter, draw, shoot three men, re-holster his gun, and then catch the still-lit lighter before it hit the ground.
Line 31:
* In quite a few ''[[Blazing Saddles]]'' scenes, the Waco Kid pulls off shots without visibly drawing his revolvers.
* Demonstrated in the film of ''[[Angels & Demons]]'' where [[The Dragon]] holds up a pilfered police badge to distract a pair of policemen, then brings up his pistol and guns them both down before they can react.
* ''[[The Quick and the Dead]]'' is full of this, being as it is about a quick draw competition. Notably, Keith David's character doesn't have a
* ''[[The Magnificent Seven]]'' has [[The Gunslinger|Chris]] use this in his attempt to convince [[The Gunfighter Wannabe|Gunfighter Wannabe]] Chico to go home: he tells Chico to clap as fast as he can before casually drawing his gun between the closing hands and inviting Chico to match the feat.

Switching from sword to gun is instant, and the bullet lands in the target before the swap animation can even start. It's in first person, so there's no visual clue to see how he actually pulls it off. He can even quickdraw the ''rifle''.
* The Counter ability in ''[[Vanguard Bandits]]'' allows any character attacked from the front to quickly preempt the enemies attack.
