Can you say out-draw instead of draw faster than?

he out-sourced his company, what does this really mean? this is what gave me the idea of the following sentence.

He can out-draw billy the kid if he had a chance.
He can draw faster than billy the kid...

I my interpretation of out-sourced correct?
Is it correct to say out-draw as in the sentence?

Never mind I got this all wrong in my mind. outsourcing is something else. So I guess out-draw doesn't exist.

Yes, outsourcing means something else, but '[url=http://www.onelook.com/?w=outdraw&ls=a] outdraw[/url]' works fine and is in fact more natural then 'draw faster'. You must capitalize the name and the epithet: Billy the Kid.
