I'm sure the fast draw existed because getting shots on target before the target gets shots on you is ordinarily how to win a gunfight, whether today or 150 years ago.

Classic movies and tv always showed it as a quick-draw duel, which almost never happened.

Meh. To most people, a pistol is a pistol. The show "Copper" has a lot of cap and ball revolvers in it. The marshall riding shotgun with Curley in "Stagecoach" had a double-barrelled coach gun. There was a time when prop houses had 1873 revolvers. That's just how it was, and you took what the prop department had.
