Some of you all must have a lot of spare time on your hands….. Yes Yes they do 1300 channels of TV AND time to do the Siskel and Eggbert reviews, plus bash each over the dome. 😃

I watched the bits and pieces I could find on Youtube.
I’m wondering how often guys on horseback actually charged each other with handguns blazing. OK, the Civil War, but those were military actions.
Texas Ranger Captain RIP Ford, who would know, opined that a guy on horseback with a revolver was at best evenly matched against a mounted Comanche with a bow. Surely the same thing applies to two guys with revolvers.
“Even” doesn’t sound like very good odds if one is going to repeat the practice. If ya don’t get shot there’s still the prospect of have your horse shot, which could likewise prove fatal.
This might be why Captain Ford did almost all of his plains fighting with rifles, you got within range, dismounted and used a rifle. It’s been a while since I read it but IIRC even Walter Prescott Web in his classic 1935 work “The Texas Rangers: A Century of Frontier Defense” mentions only one running fight on the plains, and that was settled by a Ranger who dismounted and used his Winchester. Agreed Mike. Nearly all the Ranger accounts I’ve read said they dismounted and used their rifles in most actions against the Comanche. The only one I recall that was supposedly settled with a pistol, was when Rip Ford was stranded on Enchanted Rock and outnumbered. He was said to have been the first to use a Colt Patterson Revolver to sort it out.

Hitrun , stop watching the t.v. show you hate so much.
Change the channel, historically correct doc.s are out there.
What channel do you watch "1886" on? What night?
Inquiring minds.
Mike, hope you are well, Sir. I believe it’s on Paramount + or maybe Peakock + that I watch it on. Can’t remember which of the two, but it’s one of those for sure. As for Tiny Dick Hit&Run, I’m guessing by his posts, and the fact that he’s afraid to mention what State he resides in, he’s just another Sock Puppet Trying To stir schitt up. Probably has no friends or a real life, so he’s trying to impress by being a cutesy condescending little bitch.

You remain sophomoric and unable to develop any discourse, as you still haven't addressed any of the problems with the show, just a meager attempt at attacking me. My dad could beat up your dad!
I was thinking the other day how much I used to hate Bill Clinton. He was freaking George Washington compared to what they are now.

Some here have even been invited to hunt at the Ranch. And I’ve been on fishing and hunting trips with many other Membets here. And have bought and sold guns face to face with more than a few. And my Dad’s been dead and buried for 4 years now as most here know. Thank God he didn’t raise any butt hurt little cowards like you. Come on out from behind your keyboard scooter. And please post “your personals” bitch. We’ll all be waiting and holding our breaths.

I enjoy Yellows because I want to see the clash between traditional Western Values and the modern progressive agenda....and the invaders from California.
I relate on many levels...👍
I've seen a million old westerns and just don't have time for the multiple spinoffs.

Color me skeptical of the Enchanted Rock episode and future Ranger Capt Hays doing great execution with revolvers and rifle. My take is that the Comanches chased him up that huge granite batholith and, since he had an unrestricted field of fire up there with repeating weapons, satisfied themselves in getting his horse and gear.
As with much else of Capt Hays’ legendary exploits, I believe there’s much uncertainty when that E Rock episode took place.
Steven Moore in his excellent “Savage Frontier” series of books has Patterson revolvers in the hands of Texian Army Officers as early as 1840, they were present at the Council House Fight here in San Antonio that year and in the hands of at least one local Tejano leading a party against the Comanches that same year.
IIRC Pattersons were also ludicrously expensive on the civilian market in those early years, $400 in their currency (or many thousands in ours) coming to mind.
Jack Hays’ two famous inaugural handgun fights against Comanches unfamiliar with the weapon both occurred on or not far from the Guadelupe River in 1844, four years after the fact.

Yep. I’ve read some articles that claim that Hay’s skirmish with the Commaches on Enchanted Rock never took place. On the cost of the Patterson, I thought I read some where that Hays was from a wealthy family. And another account I read stated that Colt had gifted him a Patterson. Lots of conflicting stories on that battle. I hunted a TX Parks and Wildlife Draw Hunt For exotics and whitetail does on Enchanted Rock about 20 years ago. Walked over to the spot / overhang where Hayes was supposedly holed up. Pretty neat spot. He’d of been hard to get with a bow & arrow without exposing himself completely.

The haggle is more entertaining than the TV show.
If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.

Some of you all must have a lot of spare time on your hands….. Yes Yes they do 1300 channels of TV AND time to do the Siskel and Eggbert reviews, plus bash each over the dome. 😃 Not everyone can be waiting for a kidney transplant.

There’s plenty to keep me busy in-between. Just got done running 5 FELs of wood to the big shed. I’m not sitting around on my ass all day long. Maybe only 1/2 the day.

You guys sound like my brother-in-law he concentrates on petty things in shows and movies looking for what’s wrong and not right. I can’t see why anyone would do that instead of just trying to enjoy the show!
