The 10 most deadly gunslingers, according to a site I Googled:

10. Billy the Kid;
9. James, "Killin Jim" Miller;
8. John Wesley Hardin...knew he would be included;
7. Dan Brogan;
6. William "Wild Bill" Longley;
5, Harvey "Kid Curry" Logan. Thought to be the basis of the "Sundance Kid";
4. Luke Short. Had an incident with Bat Masterson and Wyatt Earp in Dodge City. No gun play amongst them but was known otherwise to be fast and accutate draw;
3. Dallas Stoudenmire;
2. William "Curly Bill" Brocius of Tombstone fame;
1. James "Wild Bill" Hickok. The most deadliest of all.

Interesting that many of these fast-draw deadly pistoliers were also lawmen at some point in their lives. Also interesting the Johnny Ringo was not in the top 10. As for Doc Holiday, his reputation was more of pulling on someone when not expecting. Of course, this is just one web site.
