Some of the names might surprise you. How about Sammy Davis Jr. and Jerry Lewis?
The first fast describe contest took place at Knott's Berry Farm in 1954.
Hugh O'Brian claimed his 0.25 of a 2nd was the fastest, simply Davis Jr. and Lewis were reportedly faster. O'Brian challenged Audie White potato to a contest, simply when Murphy requested live ammunition, O'Brian wisely declined.
Others who were good at fast draw during the 1950s and 1960s, says Firearms Editor Phil Spangenberger, included Wally "Mr. Peepers" Cox, Hugh Downs (a host of the early Today show), dancer Donald O'Connor, singers Marty Robbins and Frankie Lane, and actors Glenn Ford, Clu Gulager, Ernest Borgnine, Jock Mahoney and Clint Eastwood.
