I enjoy watching old Tales of Wells Fargo reruns.
Dale Robertson taught himself to draw southpaw as a gimmick.
In one episode, when his gun was return to him, he declined using it, and then determine that the cartridges were lighter than they should have been--the powder had been removed. .44-40.
In another, he had .45 ammo, but his gun had been taken and the only other gun around was a .44-40.
In another, the 'bad guy', played by Chuck Connors, noted that Jim Hardie carried with the hammer down on an empty chamber. He waited froth gift shot before making his move. But Hardie had become suspicious and had put in six.
I saw one recently in which Hardie was on his way though Mexico during a revolution. He had a rifle-- a Winchester '73 or maybe '76. But the cartridges in his bandolier were long rimless cartridges with spitzer bullets.
