If you could be any fictional Western character ...

[mg357]

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.

Matt Dillon, IF I could "Fool Around" with Miss Kitty.

Jimmy,why do we always have to meet out here in the middle of nowhere? Why can't you just come to the Longbranch like everybody else?

I like a BIG hat.......................

Tom Mix had real cowboy skills, in spite of being from Penn.
And as I have reported before, he died in AZ driving my
favorite American exotic car, the Cord.
I would want to the High Noon Gary Cooper character.

At my age JB Books from John Waynes movie the Shootist

 

[shouldazagged]

Mongo in "Blazing Saddles". The man had style.

Second choice, Yosemite Sam.

 

[Straightshooter2]

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."

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."

 

[the ringo kid]

I don't see how it's gets any better than Paladin. All the action, then return to a relatively modern SF and a nice Suite.

Followed by the above mentioned Jim West.

They both were choices of mine too, but will list a couple more in a bit.

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.
