The only thing that would make them any better is if they were Smith and Wessons, but he explains why he chose the round butt Speed Sixes for this project. I got outbid on all of Elmer Keith`s guns I bid on so these are the first guns I`ve owned that ever belonged to anyone famous and I`m proud to own them.

Wow! Justifiably proud, I would say. I love those revolvers. I remember that magazine article well. I regretfully threw out my old Shooting Times magazines after saving them for many years. Congratulations on a great purchase. I too would have to shoot them. Probably would carry them! I think Skeeter would approve.
