It runs in my mind of seeing a tv show where an attractive young lady was doing exactly what I’m asking about. IIRC, she was using an SSA in .45 or maybe a 1911. It was big enough to destroy a melon. Range was maybe 15 or 20 yards.
She was obviously enough of a shooter and horsewomen to accomplish the trick, but in a real gunfight situation, my money would still be put on the guy on foot every time.
I’ve drank enough beer out of a can on a bumpy road to understand the physics involved!
Duke was constantly shooting wild injuns outta the saddle, but like you said, this is the movies.
