Wild "Barfly" Hickok was known fer his prowess with a Navy Colt in .36
Then one day he met "Pee Wee R_D" Herman....and caught one in the back of the head... History has it...that "Pee Wee R_D" was found DRT (dead right there) grasping his weapon...and since then, it's been known as? The dead mans hand....job. "Barfly" was holding his Colt in one hand and cards in the other...commonly referred to now as "Aces & Eights".

That is quite possibly the most pathetic attempt at a slam that I have ever seen.
But then again, it's rather late in the afternoon and you are probably wasted.

Would be interesting to find out...without destructing one (black powder cylinder) to
see, if they are heat treated any different...in terms of pressure.

And no Buzz, I'm not talking about using (regular smokelss powder) other than in an "emergency" or lack of availability situation.

So, Buzz...ya ever tried it and do ya still have all yer fingers?

The dead mans hand became famous when Wild Bill got shot.
