Thought some of you black powder revolver users would enjoy this video. I'm using twin nickel plated, Pietta .44 cal, 1860's, with
stainless, fluted, cylinders. The shorter barreled 1858 Rem Uberti .44, you can see (once) flipped in the air but mostly in my shoulder holster.
I recommend watching it in full screen.
I taught my draw to the actor in the pre production, upcoming spaghetti western called "Fist of Guanto". He contacted me due to my earlier other YouTube videos of my special draw and gives me credit for the draw technique in his film. They also have a facebook, Twitter and YouTube page for their "Fist of Guanto" spaghetti western which I include the links of below, and are currently in editing for the preview short (to gain financial backers) the preview which is called "Shoot in any direction and you'll hit a bastard" and the planned full length film will be "Fist of Guanto".
I am not a spokesperson for the proposed preview short nor feature movie and I am not IN the movie (although I'd luv that! Lol), and
I do not receive any payment in any way for inventing and inspiring the butt forward draw from the holster directly.
I am honored someone liked it enough to want to put it into a movie and I was glad to advise and help with the draw technique.
First below, my latest video that I AM in and hosting.

Below, the e mail from the actor using my draw technique in the film short and feature, as well as links to their social media sites about the
upcoming spaghetti western.
"Hey Bill thanks for swapping emails with me.
So once we began actually shooting the movie the decision was kind of made to take down a lot of the behind the scenes "footage" as to not discourage anyone from how the actual finished product will look (vastly superior than the test footage in theory).
We are now deep in post production, been editing for what seems like months... oh wait... it has been months... and to think this is only the "short" film which is supposed to ignite a feature (aka some financing).
The short is titled "Shoot In Any Dircetion And You'll Hit A Bastard" and the proposed feature is called "Fist Of Guanto"
There will be a couple of good draws in the completed short, including the Archimedes Screw which I will personally confirm at any given moment was directly inspired by the Bill Akins draw as our screen test video proclaimed. Let me know if there is anything specific I can do for you along these lines my friend.
In the meantime please feel free to follow our progress at the following links, in fact we would appreciate it!"
