When Hugh O’Brian played Wyatt, the guns were Buntline Specials. Guess real life was different.

So what does that have to do with Wyatt Earp? I must be missing something.

"Annie’s shotgun sold for $293,000."

Annie was good but I still wouldn't let her shoot a cigarette out of my mouth with a scattergun.

I have a Cimarron replica of Earp’s buntline SAA. It has a 10 inch barrel and a silver inlay on the right grip panel commemorating Dodge City’s presentation to him. It’s in 45 LC.

I’ll say this for it. It makes a really funny barrel/tube sound on the shooting range. Me likey.

Wild Bill Hickock was shot from behind playing poker in Deadwood, S.D.
Buffalo Bill Cody, different guy altogether.

Nice. Pop off a few rounds for me next time you’re at the range.

Bummer, I got stopped by a Deputy between Tombstone and Sierra Vista.

Let off due to National database errors.

IIRC, Earp was shot in the back while urinating along the side of the road.
