We have often heard of persons who could do things in "less than no time," but to date we have never been permitted to observe any such performances.The legendary (and I don't use the term cavalierly) Ed McGivern penned "My Challenge to Hollywood Hot Shots" with authority and wit when he was in his 80's (he actually died in 1957), and proposed a definitive test for some of the more fantastic quick draw claims being issued. I need to see if I can find out if anything ever resulted from his challenge.
Also in this issue:
- Confessions of a Rifle Expert
- Powerhouse of Automatic Pistols
- Kings Who Were Gun Collectors
- And much more, including the classic period ads.

Thanks again for the link to the download. Now working on year number two of the 50's issues!
I remember reading that one; my dad used to read that magazine, and I started reading it once I learned to read at age 5. My dad taught me to shoot a .22 when I was only 4 or 5.
I remember being interested in the fact that the design of the pistols was such that once they discharged, the knob in the grip made them a useful bludgeon in a fight.
