In a recent edition of American Handgunner, I was reading Ayoob's article about the gunfights of Col. Charles Askins, Jr.
It brought back memories of reading Askins' original articles back in the '60s, re: his border patrol escapades.
The color of gun writers blood today would be weak iced tea (incl. Mas), compared to ol' Charlie, who would bleed blood red, I'm sure! No post shooting trauma, there! What ever happened to those ol' time writers?
Elmer, .270 Jack, Skeeter, etc., etc.? Anybody miss those guys? Any anecdotes?

If you have to shoot a man, shoot him in the guts, it may not kill him... sometimes they die slow, but it'll paralyze his brain and arm and the fight is all but over Wild Bill Hickok
Remember: When you attempt to rationalize two inconsistent positions, you risk drowning as your own sewage backs up.
