I've never heard it called that before, but it was the only way to go back in the days of single-shot pistols (read The Renaissance) and was quite popular among raiders on both sides of the Civil War, since those revolvers were muzzle-loaders and you had to wait for the chamber to cool and then take thirty seconds or more to reload each cylinder.
Look at some photos of the men of that period. They didn't carry three or four guns just because it looked cool.
Oh, yeah. Excellent video.
