first, I thought it was Glock.

I believe the technique that Vincent/Tom Cruise used was close in combat shooting when your opponents are very close(3 yards or less).

Your simply draw and normally, draw the non-shooting hand to your body to avoid accidentally shooting it.

You shoot from the hip as soon as it clears the holster and gun muzzle is in front of your body, elbow of shooting hand parallel to the ground.

What Vincent/Cruise did was to slap the first guy's arm down with his support hand first.

If my memory serves me right, Vincent/Cruise then turned and engaged in MW(Modern Weaver) to shoot the 2nd guy.
