Pat Riot Posted December 11, 2024 Posted December 11, 2024 Wow! That’s a long and interesting article. Thank you Dom. I only read about half way. I will read the rest later. It’s funny, not one mention of shootists and gun fighters using wimpy mouse fart loads or hurriedly shooting at adversaries at very short distances… Maybe this remains to be seen in the latter half of the article. I did see "Slow is smooth; smooth is fast." Hmmmm…perhaps accuracy was involved as well… 3 1 Quote
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted December 11, 2024 Posted December 11, 2024 I'd have been a very deadly gun fighter. Wait out of sight, like in a doorway. When the opponent rides by you use large bore double barrel shotgun, preferably double barrel and let him have both barrels at once....from behind. Reload and step out into the street. Ask in a very loud voice, "Y'all saw me beat him to the draw didn't cha?" Not ethical? Maybe not, bit I'd be alive and he wouldn't, so I could live with that (pun intended.). 2 Quote
