I'll have you know that I intend to pull them pistols while whistling Dixie! I have a pair of the Pietta "Buntline" .44 Navies. I have pulled them, none-too-fast, as I'm sure you can imagine. Just to be a complete smartass (& if money were not an issue), I'd like to show up at a SASS match with a pair of 1873 carbines with the rifle stocks changed for regular pistol grips, just so I could have an absurd moment akin to the scene in one of the earlier Batman films...wherein The Joker (Jack Nicholson) pulls a ridiculously long barreled revolver from the hip.

I'd be slower than molasses in winter but with the muzzles ending mere inches from the targets, I'd be sure to hit steel!
