How Well Do You Know The History of The Wild West?

What was the preferred weapon of gunfighters?

During the days of the Wild West, a significant percentage of settlers carried guns with them at all times in order to protect themselves. Gunfighters such as Wild Bill Hickock were particularly fond of the six-shooter revolver, making it quite famous and it has remained so to this day.

Today, the six-shooter revolver remains a symbol of the Wild West and is a recognizable symbol; an image of two crossed six-shooters can be found on sculptures and t-shirts. It is also commonplace on gravestones.
