Since I was a kid, I have mostly been drawn to Single-Action shooting. My big game hunting has always involved Single Action handguns. I got my first SA handgun at age-16. Practiced quickdraw and "Fanning". That leads to my question;

Is there a term in quick-draw where the hammer is down, trigger is pulled and held and hammer released with the thumb? This is what I feel happened in the Baldwin incident.
