Fundamental Gun Handling Videos, Part I: The Draw

That's not fast, this is fast.

Yep---the two-balloon thing he does starting at 2:52 or so is my favorite trick of his.  (Out of many, many cool things he'd done over the years.)

Competition guns often have extended ejectors to get the empty out of the port as soon as possible. If a gun jams up and the slide is being racked while the ejection port is covered the round could be crooked in there and the ejector could hit the primer.  Anything bad that happens is going to come out of either the muzzle or the ejection port.  I see no need to put human flesh in any of those two danger zones.

Ah.  My point was merely that from an RO/SO perspective, one of those is against the rules and the other isn't.
