36 colt navy. I’ve got a repro that I shoot a lot. Hickok was a dead on shot and he got that way by practice and knowing his gun. They all have their differences in drift. Knowing what load is most accurate for your particular gun is very important if you want to throw lead on target the old fashioned way. Speed of draw isn’t as important as accuracy. In a gunfight its the man who has nerves of steel that usually comes out alive. The Hollywood scene of two guys squaring off in the street is mostly BS. It did happen but very rarely.
