Thats why Chuck Connors (aka Lucas McCain) always seemed to be wearing his gloves when handling that rifle.
This isn't really relevent but I recall reading an article once where it was stated that Chuck Connors was deadly with either hand with his rifle and was quite capable of good shooting from the hip. No camera tricks sped up his shooting although they did dub an extra shot into the scene. It's really not that hard to shoot a 92 pretty well from the hip at the typical ranges on that show. Now the speed is another question...
