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......
