Gunfighters - pt. 1

This episode originally aired in September of 2016. If you’re interested in seeing the Magnificent 7 remake (it’s pretty decent), it’s currently streaming on Amazon Prime.

From the original show notes: We love our silver screen gunfighters, but what was the reality? This week we look at some of the gunslingers of the past and their favorite shooting irons as we get ready for the release of the re-make of “The Magnificent 7”.
