2012 Reprint of 1955 Edition. Profusely illustrated. Exact
facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical
Recognition Software. Keith was born in Missouri in 1899. His
family moved to Montana six years later, where he grew up around
former outlaws, lawmen, buffalo hunters, and Indian fighters as his
life spanned the time from the Civil War veterans and gunfighters
of the Frontier to the more modern age of hand guns. His teachers
had survived the bloodiest war in our nation's history and had seen
the great herds of buffaloes and the cow towns that helped build
the West. Keith's writings had great influence on firearms in
general and especially on single action six guns. Keith's knowledge
of every facet of handguns in general and six shooters in
particular is truly remarkable. He covers it all, from history to
game shooting to gun fighting and much more. Although this book was
written before the advent of the .44 Magnum, Mr. Keith's knowledge
and experience are invaluable, with his game shooting and long
range abilities most impressive of all. Keith also covers slip
shooting with the Colt SAA, a fascinating and surprisingly
effective technique generally ignored by modern writers. But most
importantly, Elmer's honesty and integrity are his greatest
attributes to those who knew him. If you love good old six
shooters, you must have this book. This title remains an important
and classic work on the subject. Table of contents: Dedication
