I am over eighty years old and can honestly say that I grew up on westerns and practiced my fast draw with a Ruger single Six. I never came came close to your speed but had a lot of fun trying. The video is excellant. Some camera manipulations were obvious but you showed how the masters of illusion did it. I remember Parade Magazine ran an article featuring Hugh O'Brian showing his draw against alarge timer. I don't recall how fast it was but it was far less than a second. Something like 21/100. I have tried to find a reprint without success. I am a naew viwer of your videos,this the first time I have sent a comment. I have subscribed and am looking forward to enjoying more. Thank you for bringing back some fond memories.

I was a big fan of Hugh O'Brian as Wyatt Earp. I remember the Parade Magazine article but I don't remember the exact time. 🙂 This video is first time I've heard the term "race gun".

Sammy Davis Jr. was an excellent gun handler. He was on at least two episodes of "The Rifleman" and did a demonstration of his skills once his TV show.

The real “fakery” is the notion that these kinds of “fast draw duels” ever happened. It’s almost entirely a fiction created by pulp-novel writers of the time, later picked up by scriptwriters.

Great job all around with content and editing, you should have more subscribers and I suspect you will soon. A lot of us grew up recreating the scenes in westerns first with toys and then real guns for fun, I learned my lesson on how dangerous thumb cocking is when my friend let one go off early with the bullet hitting a rock and me getting fragged in the shin feeling like I was shot for a second or two, that was enough of that. I've noticed old SW double action revolvers with an ejector housing added on in some movies I suppose to make it easier for the actors.

Hey brother, my dad was an amazing gunsmith. 50 plus years. He had a little gunshop in Ranson WV. When he first started gunsmithing, after he got out of the Marines, he built 2 of the most beautiful single actions. When he purchased them one was a 38 spc and one was a 357. He converted then both to 45 colt. He sent them both back to colt and they color case hardened the frames. He had them matched, with walnut grips. I grew up with those guns. He knew Arvo Ojala and built a two gun rig. When he became ill and was unable to work, he ended up selling them with the rig. I miss those two guns. They weren't modified other than the action job dad did on them. You would have loved those guns. Keep the videos coming brother. PEACE ✌️ p.s. I think I already told you this story. But I miss him more every time I see a single action revolver.

I love your channel-even though I know nothing about guns, I'm actually learning something from your videos. :) Growing up, I was more into reading Western books than watching movies. Zane Grey was one of my favorite authors as a kid. :) I did enjoy Western movies, but here in Eastern Europe-and especially back in the Soviet Union days-we didn't have access to many Westerns. Maybe a couple of spaghetti Westerns, and that was it. Your videos bring back that nostalgia for me.

Louis L'amour was a terrific writer of frontier stories, also wrote Hondo, Shalako ( movies). J T Edson was also a prolific writer of westerns and in fact was English. George G Gilman ( real name Terry Harknett ) too was English he wrote the novelization of a Fistful of Dollars under the pseudonym Frank Chandler, he is best known for writing the EDGE series classed as blood and soil westerns, often with gallows humour and detailed descriptions of what a bullet could really do to a person as in richochet around inside the body bouncing off a bone and ripping up an organ in its trajectory, he also wrote other westerns in a similar vein under psudonyms, Jubal Cade as Charles R Pike, Apache as William M James and a few others the books were often very violent which put off some people, all a matter of taste, in 2015 Amazon Prime aired a pilot show named Edge after the series of books adapted by and directed by Shane Black. I saw it it was very good, it went down well with viewers but for some reason the network decided to keep it on the back burner with options to develop it further in a later time.

Old westerns with a huge amount of humor.
