Right-handed Harry, sporting a classic Western gunbelt and low-slung holster, showed how you pull out your single-action Peacemaker (or whatever you're packin'!) and, as you're raising your arm, cock it, aim and fire!

'Trouble with that is, it takes too long!', he said.

Then he demonstrated how, if the holster is on your left hip, you can whip your weapon out much quicker.

Check out, say, Dragnet and you'll find that's where Joe Friday has his gun.
