I tried that with my Glock, but it wasn't quite the same.  Ouch.
Disclaimer: I'm kidding of course.   
Do NOT try this with ANY autoloader.

LOL, that is almost as dumb as that guy whole needed to drill a hole through his wall for a cable line and decided that a .45 was the perfect size hole and shot through the wall and hit his wife in the leg.

Autoloaders are not a substitute for a hand drill.

I assume he's spinning a 4 3/4" barrel SAA?  Is that the most balanced of the Single Action Army revolvers?  From his site it looks like he uses Cimarrons.  I couldn't imagine dropping a pair of nickel Colts across the ground..... :o

OverLoad- really cool man I had no idea he did that.

One thing I noticed while watching these videos is that he was just about too skinny for a gunbelt.  :)

Overload,

I saw Sammy way back on the Mike Douglas show.  He was about 10 or 15 feet from the target (wood).  He threw a knife, drew and fired and the knife landed IN the bullet hole!

But he wasn't the fastest draw.  Can ya guess who was?

Jerry Lewis!!

Quote
Soon the event spread to Hollywood celebrities and western movie stars.  Surprisingly, the fastest guns in Hollywood in the
early 60's were  1st = Jerry Lewis,  2nd = Sammy Davis Jr. and 3rd = Dean Martin.  Dean and Sammy both did some western films, while Jerry didn't really use guns on camera.  The1960s National Fast Draw Championships were held annually in Las Vegas, Nevada and were sponsored by Colt firearms and the Sahara Hotel and Casino.

Alfonso Pedia of Alfonso of Hollywood made the fast draw rigs for Hollywood celebrities such as John Wayne, Gary Cooper, Jerry Lewis, Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin and James Arness as well as most of the stuntmen in the motion picture industry that included Johnny Mac Brown, David Sharpe and Yakima Canut.

Over the years the sport has seen a number of changes in techniques and equipment. In 1976 the two largest Fast Draw organizations, the Western Fast Draw Association and the Mid-Western Fast Draw Association, merged to form the World Fast Draw Association, which governs the sport today.

Great video Overload, Sammy was a small guy, and he spun that "big iron" like he did everything else. A real pro. Long lost talent in so many things, is getting harder to find from people.

As a followup:

Vegas police: Jerry Lewis cited for gun in luggage
13 hours ago

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Police say they have confiscated a gun belonging to Jerry Lewis that was found in the 82-year-old entertainer's carryon bag as he prepared to fly to Detroit from Las Vegas.

Las Vegas policeman Bill Cassell said Tuesday that the actor was cited Friday for carrying an unloaded concealed weapon at the Las Vegas airport.

Lewis' manager, Claudia Marghilano, says the handgun is a hollowed-out prop gun that Lewis sometimes twirls during his show. She tells The Associated Press that the gun couldn't fire.

Marghilano says Lewis didn't know the gun was in the bag along with other props.

Cassell says if the gun were merely a prop "it wouldn't be a weapon and we couldn't cite him for carrying a weapon."
