Wow... I've often heard/read about this episode, what a treat it is to finally see (and hear) him. I wish they had his stunt where he holds his hand out horizontally at his side with a ping-pong ball on the back of it, He draws and fires his gun, before the ball drops into his now empty holster!! The well known late gun writer Skeeter Skelton had a nickname for Jordan... "Long Willie". Now I know why, this dude has some legs on him!
Ever tried to shoot accurately from the hip? It's not easy. Takes a massive amount of practice to be any where close to being accurate. Maybe not so much if the bad guy is right on you. But if that's the case. You already fucked up.
wth would you switch hands under a threat like that. ? The way I heard it, Bill put the snubby in his back pocket, the butt protruding. Because the bad guy would (supposedly) be focused on Bill's right hand, his left hand could draw and "beat the drop" of the guy who was holding a gun on him HOwever, what I teach is to sidestep as you draw. This adds at LEAST .20 second to the time the bad guy needs to shoot you, which of course gives you an extra ..20 second in which to shoot HIM Because you start FIRST, you dont have any reaction time. HE does and he also has to DECIDE what to do. That adds at LEAST another .20 second. So you've got at least .60 second in which to draw. and hit him. If your hand is in your pocket, on your gun and he's only an arm's length away, this is not all that hard to do. A top hand can do it at 10 ft, getting both hands on the gun and bringing said gun up into an eye-level point shooting firing-stance
Great video, great legend, thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you. I fread No Second Place Winner in 1972 but this was the first time I saw Bill Jordan in motion and heard him speak.
We need more Bill Jorden’s!
Pretty good show then or now really. Well made and interesting.
Thanks! The original YAFI team traveled the world to create these short documentaries. There's a lot more that we haven't uploaded yet.
I met Bill Jordan about 45 years ago. He was an enormous man with hands the size of dinner plates. Fantastic shot.

Back when we enforced the border!!!
Los Angeles Police Academy is in Elysian Park , CA. across street from Dodger stadium.
That was pretty cool!😃👍
As Bill points the .357 at Art.
Damn we’ve been playing with timers since forever
Maybe could have pointed that in the other direction
Bill Jordan cousin shot Bonnie and Clyde
Two shots first round ????
Watch and listen
Not saying he wasn’t fast but the cops where slow on the horn😂

And now border patrol is a joke
No...the politicians in charge of USBP are a joke.
Border enforcement sure is.
