“What you gonna do when you get out of jail?…” part 288

Today I thought I’d indulge myself in a bit more random gun crankery.

(Speaking of random gun crankery: a side note to the Buntline conversation. I think I could actually get the funds together to purchase that, if I were irresponsible and really wanted it. But neither of those is true.)

Two short videos about Thell Reed, Hollywood quick draw trainer. This first one concentrates on “Django Unchained”. (Don’t go to the website listed in Wikipedia: it’s been taken over and is not safe for work.)

“Thell Reed: Hollywood’s Hired Gun”.

And here’s someone we hope you’ll really like: the legendary Arvo Ojala. This is an episode of “To Tell The Truth” featuring Mr. Ojala: it is the full episode, but Mr. Ojala’s segment is roughly the first eight minutes.

Bonus, but still on the short side: vintage video of a demonstration by Bill Jordan, Border Patrol agent, author, and no slouch when it came to quick draw himself. I know the YouTube notes aren’t in English, but the video itself is.

Finally, an extra-long bonus that hits three odd intersections: gun crankery, CanCon, and history. “Black Watch Snipers”.
