How to Do the Road Agent's Spin

The Road Agent's Spin is a gunfighter's trick from the Old West popularized by the Clint Eastwood movie The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976). It's easy to learn and a fun party trick, if you go to the sorts of parties where people bring pistols.

    One issue that needs to be brought up: If you're a person with shorter fingers, you can't really loop the finger around and into the trigger well, so you have to let the gun flip onto your index finger before you can spin it around, instead of starting with your finger in the trigger well. longer fingers make this trick easier..it's doable with shorter, stubbier fingers, but it's not as easy as when you have longer fingers that can loop into the trigger well from the start.
