Is it a true crossdraw?  Does he actually reach across his body to pull the
gun on the opposite side?

See, Hickock is actually known for using the uncommon reverse draw (if you
ever saw Purgatory, it's one of the things they got right).  He wore his
holsters backwards kind of like a crossdraw, but he drew the gun with the
hand on the same side.

I don't have HBO, but I just wondered if they were doing that historically
accurate, since the cursing is supposed to be.  <rolls eyes>  I had to stay
in a hotel a couple of weeks back, and I saw they had HBO and Deadwood was
on, so I flipped it over.  After a minute and the guy used the same curse
word like four or five times in one sentence, I flipped it to Under Siege 2.
It's like they combined a western with a George Carlin routine.  At least
with Under Siege 2, I knew to expect a lot of <bleeping bleep>.  ;-)
