Also found these in the Homebrew stunts which could be used:

Quick Draw: You can draw and use a weapon in a single motion. You take no penalty when drawing a weapon as a supplemental action (page YS:213); if you're in a race to see who draws first, or anything else having to do with your speed or ability to draw, gain a +1 on the roll.

Iaijutsu: (Requires Quick Draw) You are trained in iaijutsu, the art of drawing a sword. The first attack you make with a sword each scene gets a +1 bonus to hit and inflicts two additional stress.
The entire Red Court was taken down by the new Winter Knight? From the lowliest pawn all the way up to the King? *puts on sunglasses* Knight to G7. Check mate.

Alternately, you could do this:

Gunslinger (Guns); Your ability to draw and shoot from the hip accurately is legendary; With a one-handed and holstered handgun you may substitute your Guns skill for Alertness to determine Initiative and you do not gain the -1 from the Supplemental action for drawing your weapon and firing in the same round so long as you do so on your Initiative. As a matter of fact, you gain +1 to your roll to hit for the first round only.

The way I see it, you're changing the alertness trapping and then giving a 2 shift effect. Maybe that is OP though, I dunno.

I like this version and I also like the "Quick Draw" and  "Iaijutsu" stunts as well. Would have to rename  "Iaijutsu" as "Gunslinger" or something though.

And, to be fair, a generic +1 to a skill under all circumstances is the realm of a Power, not a stunt.  Given the shadowrun standard fluff that having too much cyberware makes you less human, that seems not too unreasonable for the setting - but I wouldn't suggest allowing it without giving up the +2 pure mortal bonus.

Actually, you can get a +1 to non-combat skills with a broad application as a mortal stunt.  Maybe bioware that enhances muscle performance would be a +1 to Athletics for Climbing, Jumping, and Sprinting (and other apps within reason but stay away from combat apps as a must).
