A gunshop long gone here used to have an old video tape playing with old, mostly black and white footage of guys like Bill Jordan and Ed Mcgivern showing thier skills.

I think it was called "Fast and Fancy Shooters" or Shooting, or something like that.

Anyone know where to get one. I'd love a copy.

Midway among others has Ed McGivern's book "Fast and Fancy Revolver Shooting":

Paladin press has the video "Fast and Fancy Shooters".

Kind of spendy at Paladin but then the worth of something can't always be equated to the dollar cost. If you google the title a couple of other places list it as well.

Now that you got me looking on that web page...

Col. Rex Applegate's "Kill or Get Killed" is a classic on gunfighting and IMO is just as valuable today as when it was written. I learned how to point shoot a 1911 from that book.

That's the video I've been looking for. Thanks Jim.

Just a heads up....Mcgiverns book is among the hardest to read I've ever seen. I could read it in short bursts, but not cover to cover. Lots of useful info, just not very interesting.
I'll have to look into Applegate's book.
