SNIP...you mean the way gangsters hold the gun sideways and the way you see them firing a revolver by swiping the hammer in the old cowboy and indian movies? ummm.....ok then, you have fun with that opinion
Skip to 1:20 for almost proper "bird man" shooting stance.

You'll notice the firearm was placed sideways but was not held at the correct height (above eye level, preferably above forehead level).
You'll also notice he makes a tough face and shouts at least one obscenity, both of which contribute to the amazing accuracy that followed.
Finally, you'll notice he was holding his pistol in one hand and his junk in the other, giving him faster follow-up shots and stability.

To the OP: In all seriousness, DO NOT remove your sidearm in public. You risk running afoul of brandishing laws and may cause a Negligent Discharge (any and all handling/fondling of a loaded firearm increases the risk compared to not handling/fondling the same loaded firearm).
The only time I hand my 1911 off in "public" is at the "gun-tying table" to enter the gun shows, and even then I have my recorder going and don't hand it off until I've cleared it while pointing the muzzle at the little barrel provided for such purposes.
