To: Shooter 2.5
Ed McGivern could shoot a playing card thru on it's edge with an unmodified Colt or S&W.

I have an article here about him that shows him and his revolvers.

No lighter mansprings or trigger springs.

Tied back the trigger on a stock ColtSA for fanning.

A few had special wood stocks, one had a larger modified TG opening.

Was top dog until late in his career.

Unlikely looking shooter.

Was a lot faster and more accurate than I am.

My fastest is not one of my Colts, it's a stock nickle-plated MOP S&W BT circa 1883 .38DA.

Old S&W .38DA BTs were used by many top Border honchos.

Jordan liked S&Ws.

Ed is like that 75 year old guy who can sink 100 foul shots in a row.

Practice.

Dedication.

Sweat.

You forgot "Fitz" and his Colts with the TG cut off ahead of thr trigger.




Great post Shooter......
