Somewhere it says that PP was holding his wand behind his back.  So 
when he first confronted SB he was already holding it--he didn't need 
to draw.

Sirius still should've been more alert.  After all, he already knew 
that PP was the traitor.  But I put this down to Sirius's being 
stunned with grief and guilt, not to Peter's skill as a wizard.
