10 DEADLIEST Gunslingers In The History Of OLD WEST, here goes channel fans vote..

Annie Oakley was hardly a native of the Old West. She lived in Ohio until she began preforming in Wild West Shows around the turn of the century.

Glad I found this channel. Holliday is my personal favorite. Hands down. That being said, the baddest dude n the Old West is none other than John Wesley Hardin. Absolute zero contest. 💯

Time stamps 0:25 Doc Holiday 4:07 Johnny Ringo 6:52 Bass Reeves 10:06 Buckskin Frank 14:03 Porter Rockwell 17:30 Annie Oakley 20:12 Bill Longley 23:30 Bat Masterson 25:53 The Sundance Kid 28:34 Jesse James Annie Oakley's presence and Billy the Kid's absence on this list are both puzzling. Annie was a sharpshooter and quite famous, that much is true, but she did not kill anyone as far as we know, so her being called one of the DEADLIEST GUNSLINGERS is very strange indeed.

Jeff KIdder Arizona ranger. Not many practiced a fast draw and expended thousands of rounds of ammo like Kidder did. Rumored by rangers to be capable to draw and fire while being covered by guns. Bat Masterson was smart. He avoided many gun fights by holding shooting contests to demonstrate how accurate he could shoot. The gun used by Ringo in the TV series actually existed. It was an upgraded version of a cap-and-ball french pistol which fired a shotgun shell from the center of the barrel. Ringo was not known to own one. Clay Allison? Reputed to be the first fast gun. Commodore Perry Owen? Only man known to have taken down four men in a gunfight.

Calling Ringo "lesser known" is down right inaccurate. Even disrespectful. All the same, I truly enjoyed this video. Well made. Well narrated. Thank You for your efforts.💯

When my dad who was born in 1927 was a kid growing up on a small rural property outside of Little Falls Minnesota he and his brothers befriended an old man that was a neighbor who they said was in his 80's or 90's at the time (mid to late 1930's) and the old guy would have one of them drive his old touring car while he rode in the back seat. This old guy would have his old 6 shooter and holster on and would stand up in the back of the moving touring car as it drove along and do a quick draw and shoot crows out of the air. The old guy would only say that he had spent time out west before the turn of the century and was known by a different name but would never say what that name was. He died before 1940 without anyone knowing who he really was or if what he had said was true or if it was just a tall tale he told kids, but from what my dad and his brothers all said and agreed on was that they truly Believe the old guy had actually been a gunslinger who wanted to live his last years in peace and didn't want his past known to anyone or which side of the law he had been on. But they all agreed that they felt he had been on the wrong side of the law and probably had old wanted posters for him out west. Nobody will ever know who that old guy was and my dad and uncles who had known him are all gone now so they can't even be shown pictures of various old gunslingers who just disappeared to see if any of them resembled a younger version of the old guy. It would be interesting to know who he was and what his past was.

Your list didn't include Wild Bill Hickok and he was a hellva gunslinger!

How does being a good shot make Annie Oakley a gunslinger? She was just a sharp shooter. She never killed anybody in a gun battle.

Where's: Wild Bill Hickok / Tom Horn / John Wesley Hardin / Jim Miller / Frank Hamer / J. "King" Fisher / Ben Thompson ???

Several years ago while researching our family history one relative created a book with related stories and one ancestor it turned out that he was a horseback Rodin train robber. Though I don’t condone criminal activity it still is fascinating

Thank you for sharing. Sam Bass is a legendary lawman in American history. God bless

It's Holliday, with two "L"s. Also, the gunfight was not AT the O.K. Corral, the shootout actually took place in a narrow lot on the side of C. S. Fly's photography studio on Fremont Street, six doors west of the O.K. Corral's rear entrance. 3 men, Billy Clanton, and Tom and Frank McLaury were killed, Billy Claiborne and Ike Clanton ran away. Wyatt was unharmed, Doc, Virgil, and Morgan were wounded. A couple of good books to check out are "1876: The Year of The Gun" by Steve Wiegand and "The Summer of 1876" by Chris Wimer. Between them, they cover Both Bills (Wild and Hickok), Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, Jesse James, Doc Holliday, Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer, Sitting Bull, and Crazy Horse. Good reads! \

6:41 That Dell comic cover has Ringo holding a very strange revolver. Note that you see three cartridge holes on the inner side of the cylinder - leaving room for at least five or maybe even six more cartridges! I never heard of an 8 or 9 shot pistol - not back when favorite cartridges started at about .32 to .45 cal. guess it might have been a 9-shot .22, but not with that large gun barrel.

John Wesley Hardin was #1

How does Annie Oakley fit the subject matter "DEADLIEST Gunslingers"..? She was neither. Besides that, great video. Thanks

Annie Oakley was a shootist, not a shooter, definitely not an outlaw. You should have added the baddest of them all, John Wesley Hardin, he knew left over 40 men, one for snoring to loud!!

You missed james butler "wild bill" hickok.

I was born and raised, more than 75 years ago, in West Texas. Live there now. Read about Adobe Walls all my life. First heard about it in school in Texas History class. Seen it in movies. etc. Billy Dixon became famous there for killing an Indian over a mile away with his Sharps buffalo rifle. This video is the first time I ever heard that Bat Masterson was there. The things that can discovered only on the Internet is amazing, don't you think ? I swear it's almost like magic when new facts appears about old stories.

Actually, the deadliest was John Wesley Hardin; even Longley complained about Hardin killing more than he had and not getting a death sentence.

Penniless at death can only mean you lived your life with gusto. Spend it all, especially if you earned it. My father asked me, the oldest child and only child alive, if i wanted that marvelous house i grew up in, to be left to me at his death. I said no. Sell it and get tour money. You've educated me, and I'll be able to pay my own way. And he did! And so did I. God bless the child who's got his own.
