I don’t know how often it happens but it does happen.
When John Wesley Hardin killed sheriff’s deputy Charlie Webb in Comanche Texas the two met and exchanged words and Hardin dared Webb to arrest him.
According to witness Webb stepped back, put his cigar in his teeth, said “No, God Damn you I’m not afraid of you.” and drew his gun.
None of the testimony said that either was especially faster than the other but Hardin shot first, hitting Webb in the face and killing him.
