If you take an interest in details ... watch the Gunsmoke Season 3- Episode 90- How to Kill a Woman ... First aired on CBS 11/30/1957
In showdown between Marshal Dillon & fast draw gunfighter Nate Pilcher (Pernell Roberts)... Pilcher easily outdraws Dillon but misses because he was more worried about drawing fast and fanning the gun vice accuracy.
According to the writings of Wyatt Earp ... many men could draw fast but not hit a target accurately. Earp claims to have witnessed gunfights where both men fired all their rounds without hitting each other.
To view the Gunfight ... fast forward to YouTube video ... PT 3 Gunsmoke In How to Kill a Woman ... 3.30.
Also notice that Marshal Dillon is reloading his gun after the Gunfight ... very accurate ... a true western gunmen never holstered an empty gun.
