Twirlin’

AMC ran a bunch of really awesome cowboy shows/movies over this past weekend. One of which was The Rifleman with Chuck Connors; I’ve never seen it before and watched just about every episode they aired. I was addicted as soon as I saw the opening:

Look at how he twirls that Winchester. *SIGH*

We’ve all tried it. He’s just tall enough to have done it without the rifle getting caught or tripping over it. Or an accidental discharge. If you’re gonna try it…please make sure it’s not loaded. Seriously.

I found a few great links when I was searching for a great video of the opening credits:

The Riflemans Rifle

The Rifleman Episode Guide List

Hulu’s The Rifleman Page – I’m definitely gonna be watching these.

And then I found this:

Holy shit!! I had no idea Sammy Davis, Jr. could twirl a pistol like that!! How effin cool is that!?!?

And THIS…wow:

I gave up on twirlin’ a lever-gun, I’m too short. I’m working on twirlin’ my black powder pistols. My CZ is too heavy.
