If you could be any fictional Western character ...
Who would you be?
I wouldn't mind being Shane. Great shot, nice threads.

With Brett Maverick and Festus Hagan already mentioned, the field's pretty well covered for me.
I'll go with James West. Lots of action. (get your minds out of the gutter) Besides, I like trains.

If I could be any fictional western character. I would be the fictional gunfighter character that I recently created out of my own brain.
Name Run Short
Weapons Winchester 1873 carbine Caliber 44-40
colt peacemaker nickel finish walnut grips barrel length 4 3/4 Caliber 44-40
I came up with the name Run Short in a unique way. I Run in my wheelchair as a form of exercise and I am short in height 4 feet 10 inches to be exact.
I hope I did not hijack or mess up the thread with this long post.

And as I have reported before, he died in AZ driving my

I would want to the High Noon Gary Cooper character.

Like someone else, I've got to go with Paladin. Former West Point graduate, great accommodations, beautiful women and deadly if crossed.
Second would be Christopher Colt from the short run series Colt .45. He was Sam Colt's nephew and he sold Peacemakers to gun shops across the west as his cover. He was actually a government agent tracking down bad guys.

Well duhhhh...
"Paladin" in the TV series Have Gun Will Travel was the "gentleman" pistolero, the "thinking man's Western hero." Played perfectly by actor Richard Boone, Paladin used his wits more than his gun, was well-schooled, erudite, and unflappable in emergencies. Always in the background was that he was a fast gun - and deadly. "It's a chess piece, the most versatile on the board. It can move in eight different directions, and is always unexpected."
John

Monte Walsh, Lee Marvin or Tom Seleck, both were just honest cowboys that did their job well and had fun doing it. "As long as there is one cowboy takin care of one cow it ain't dead."

Burt Lancaster's "Bill Dolworth" from The Professionals. Because most of his action was with women, he got to hang out with Lee Marvin which would be pretty cool, and he blew stuff up. He didn't seem to like shootouts, but was a great shot. Oh. And he got to see Claudia Cardinale topless.
