I’ve posted this film before, but it definitely is in keeping with the topic.
It’s a training film with Marine marksman and Olympic Gold medalist, Bill MacMillan. (He shoots a Colt Officer’s Match):

There’s one spot where McMillan shows his timed/rapid fire dry-fire technique. Masterful example of thumb cocking, indeed!
Here’s the relevant thread:
How to REALLY shoot a Pistol! (Film)
If you haven’t seen it, check out the LASD in the film from the 1930s:
RARE - LASD Pistol Team Exhibition, Historic, 1936, Color enhanced - YouTube
I think there are mostly Colts in that one (plus a Thompson SMG!)
How many people do you know that would let you shoot cigarettes out of their mouth or ears?
