7 Most Badass Wild West Gunfighters

[@TimPearcy]

Wyatt Earp's brother did not die at the OK Corral, but rather was shot in the back while shooting pool a short few days after the famous gunfight.

[@danjacobson1365]

That's correct...and also no 30 men were killed in the Earp revenge ride.

[@craigstewart1532]

These youtube videos are sometimes thinly researched.

[@sebradfield]

"A short few days"? Try five months. The gunfight took place on October 26, 1881. Morgan Earp was murdered on March 18, 1882.

[@johnjuanda5745]

Virgil was shot like 2 months after the gunfight. Morgan died 3 months after that. Both "Tombstone" and "Wyatt Earp" movies got it wrong.

[@williammoore9047]

@@craigstewart1532 you are so right. They have Hardin as the deadlist, he was probably the most dangerous because of his mental problem made him so unpredictable. According to what was written back then Doc Holiday was probably the fastest of them all. It was said you couldn't see his hand move, you only saw a blurr. While Wild Bill was probably the deadlist shot. And Clay Allison was just plain fast, crazy, mean and deadly with gun and knife. He sat and had dinner with a man who come to town to kill him even after the towns people had warned him. After the shooting , people asked why have dinner with the man who came here just to kill you? Allison replied, I hate to send a man to hell on a empty stomach!

[@deanarupe73]

Doc Holliday and Wyatt Earp actually knew each other before Tombstone. The met in Dodge City. They became good friends and ran into each other again in Tombstone.

[@NotLazySelectivelyMotivated]

Wyatt was chasing Arkansas Dave Rudibaugh.

[@johnnysarajevo4279]

Wild Bill did not kill Mr. Tutt in a "fast Draw" contest. They began shooting at each other from a distance. Wild Bill did not start shooting wildly like Mr. Tutt, he took careful and deliberate aim and shot Mr. Tutt in the heart at 75 yards using his 1851 Colt Navy revolver.

[@aaronhuff9689]

Greatest shot with a pistol ever made.

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

aaron huff 75 yards, and with a cap and ball 1851 Colt Navy! They were generally accurate to about 20 yards.

[@8aleph]

A little Know fact about Colt revolvers of those days, army specs called for them to be sighted to 75 yards right up into the 20th century that included the dragoons right on through the navy and army cap and ball types right into SAA production. There was no difference between military and civilian versions save for government property markings. Having fired both replica and shootable originals all if in good shape were up were easily capable of hitting a man at 100 yards

[@bestofthebest8692]

You're the one that should do a little research my friend, it was the first witnessed and recorded (one of the few) fast draw duels. Each man fired one shot at the same time. According to wittiness's each stood sideways, had their pistols holstered drew and fired once, Tutt fired with one hand, Hickok brought his pistol up rested it on his free arm in one motion and fired once. The slug struck Tutt in the left side. Witnesses who didn't see the shootout said they only heard one shot. two witnesses said Tutt was the first to reach for his pistol which was one of the reasons Hickok was acquitted.

[@shananagans5]

They are more accurate than most people realize. As 8aleph says, they are, or they attempted to sight them in at fairly long distances. At shorter distances they are known to shoot high. Originals in good condition can shoot 10 or 12 moa. When fairly new, with a tight fitting ball, no wadding & a clean barrel they could probably pull off 9, maybe even 8 moa. With no error on the shooters part, that means they could put a ball somewhere in an 8 or 9 inch ring from 100 yards. By the later half of the 1800's they had good enough machine tools & the knowledge to get accuracy down pretty well. High quality modern handguns don't do much better. It's still one hell of a shot, especially when the target isn't a piece of paper & won't shoot back.

[@Twilight777Dancer]

Several mistakes in this, that could easily be corrected with a little research.

[@BAGBANE]

you forgot about Marshal Bass Reeves. He killed 37 men in shoot outs without ever getting hit.

[@doubled5982]

Interesting side note. Doc Holliday was one of very, very few gun slingers that died with his boots off (i.e. The TB killed him, not another gunslinger as was usually the case). There is a reference to this in the movie Tombstone. Doc (played by Val Killmore) looks down at his feet, and says: "Well looky there"!

By age 19, Elfego Baca was already one of the fastest guns in the New Mexico territory. Elfego was a gunman, lawman, lawyer, and politician. Elfego's Frisco shootout against a bunch of men was as dramatic as it gets. Elfego survived over 1000 shots in a small house with a sunken floor. He killed four and wounded 8 of his attackers. He surrendered because he was running out of ammunition.

[@schizoidboy]

I would have thought they should have put Bass Reeves in this countdown. He is one of those famous people you never heard of. He was a runaway slave who became a federal marshal in the Oklahoma Territory who never failed to bring back someone dead or alive. According to one account one man surrendered because he had a nightmare that Reeves was coming after him. As for gunfights he survived everyone of them he was in proving he was a fighter and good with a gun. One show suggested that he might have been a roundabout inspiration for the Lone Ranger.

Here’s an interesting little tidbit of information for ya. In the movie “Tombstone”, after “Wyatt Earp” leaves “Doc Holidays” side in the hospital, Doc looks down at his bare feet and says: “Well lookie their”, and chuckles for a second before they switch scenes. Why is this important? Most gun fighters of the time died with there boots on-either in gun fights, or being shot in the back, or something of the like. It was very rare for them to die in the way Doc Holiday did. With his boots off.

[@Matt-pn1ce]

The Schofield Kid, Billy the Kid, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The One Shot Kid, Landon Ricketts are the greatest gunslingers

wiseguy436 Yes, they had known each other for a while. In Wyatt's book, Wyatt Earp Speaks, he states that Doc and Kate came to Tombstone from Prescott with Virgil.

[@michaelharms7692]

Another story goes that the pair met at Fort Griffin,TX. Wyatt was working as a detective for Wells Fargo hunting onetime associate of Billy the Kid, Dirty Dave Rudebaugh. A bartender Wyatt had met in Dodge steered him to Doc for information of said desperado. It is known that Doc and Kate began their tempestuous relation in Fort Griffin, and together effected a sensational escape from that town. I find this story highly credible.

I find the Deacon Miller fellow fascinating. Didn't drink or smoke. Went to church often , but was a stone cold killer. Worse a killer for hire. During the golden age of piracy there was another infamous character. A pirate by the name of Bartholomew Roberts. Black Bart. Also never drank and held mass on his pirate ship. I wonder if they though reconciling their actions and muderous ways by living clean lives and worshipping God. Or were they preparing thesmselves for the afterlife. Cause lord knows they would've had to have done a lot of repenting to enter those pearly gates. Who knows? Only God I guess.

[@williamdean4101]

Where the Hell did you get your info from. No Earp brothers died at the OK Coral nor did Doc Holiday first meet Wyatt Earp in Tombstone. Try Fort Griffin Texas.. I stopped the video after that one. There's enough bullshit on the internet...

[@johnnychaos152]

I'm related to Doc Holliday. He was a cousin several times removed on my father's side. He met Wyatt Earp in Fort Griffin, Texas not Tombstone. Even wikipedia has a few inaccuracies about him. It was only ever 100% verified that he killed ONE person. That was Tom McClaury at the OK Corral. Most of what is known about him is taken from Wyatt Earps autobiography. Unfortunately Wyatt tended to embellish things and occasionally just make things up. Doc also did quite a bit of story telling of his own just to build up a fearsome reputation. The reason for this is that he was only about 5'7 and by the time he arrived in Tombstone tuberculosis had withered his weight down to about 125lbs. He was physically frail and needed to be feared as a first line of defense.

[@korndogz69]

I'm a descendant of John Wesley Hardin, and I read about him as a kid because I was fascinated by the stories my family told me. Your presentation of him is very skewed, and you failed to mention WHY he was put on that path. Then you failed to mention he passed the bar exam while in prison, and began practicing law after he was released before the coward, John Selman, shot him in the back. Given the same circumstances, I would do EXACTLY what John Wesley Hardin did with no shame whatsoever. He was the defender. The attacker should always know they can legally be killed. Even if the attacker wears a badge.

[@jonlanier_]

Don't know that history... but appreciate you telling us. We have something in common. I have a Great, great...... grandfather that was killed at 29. Shot of the back of a horse... he was accused of cheating at cards. Don't know if he did or didnt'... but he died with a shot gun at his back.

Haplo Teromaximus - I remember reading that the man who killed Hardin shot him in the back over a dispute with a woman.

John Wesley Hardin to me was definitely #1, John King Fisher #2, Ben Thompson #3 (all 3 men were from Texas with each having over 26 Kills). Clay Allison #4 (a true Maniac), Wyatt Earp #5, Wild Bill Hickok #6, Also, one must also consider which Gunfighters were actually Serial Killers.

Miller is a probable for murdering Pat Garret. Clay Allison was kicked in the head by a pack mule while he served in the Confederate army, the injury left him with periodic severe head aches and drinking bouts that accompanied the head aches while drinking Allison was violent and unpredictable at such times. Tom Horn was no murderer he was a punishment on thieves stealing his employers' cattle, the law enforcement of the day being unwilling to do so. The Deputy US Marshall that framed him did so at the behest of the Wyoming cattle growers association and is a possible for the killing Horn was hung for being also a cattle growers assoc. detective as well

The Clanton faction had no weapons so I guess Morgan Virgil and Doc were wounded by very hard spit. Thar was one of Ike's more ludicrous claims. If the Clantons were unarmed and the Earps wanted to shoot them down then the unarmed Ike would have died. One lie that the Earps most likely said was that Billy and Frank cocked their weapons first, odds are that it was Doc on the shotgun prompting Virgil to say 'no no I don't what this' or something close to that. And saying that Morgan didn't die in a shootout is kind of splitting hairs.

The actual place the shootout occurred was. In front of photo shop. Look it up.

What about Johnny Ringo?

[@kellychartrand5532]

Hardin was killed by John Selman, a lawman with at least twenty kills of his own. Did for his son as Hardin was threatening the young Selman.

Am I wrong, or isn't it true that no Warps died at the gunfight? I think Morgan was ambushed sometime later. Makes me question how accurate any of this video is.

Slade ? Longley quipped " better get that fixed before someone trips & beaks his neck" climbing the gallows steps.

[@jeffalbillar7625]

Hell, these guys would all be considered serial murderers today.

2:32 - second from the left looks like Michael Scott ("The Office").

[@benboru9013]

The Artful Dodger That stupid picture is of the actors in the town that perform for the tourists. I can't believe how many people use this picture. But you're totally right about Michael Scott, hahaha!

Killing people from ambush is not gun fighting. It's one sided...

[@AustriaGermany]

what about gunpowder gray of st louis

[@vitalguillin9229]

Fast draw gunfights exist just in Hollywood movies, most of time, it was ambushes, or shots in the back, and they used shotguns or coach guns....Like Miller for ex.

[@TheWartHawg]

I think Miller used a rifle and shot from a distance, rather than a shotgun, but your point is solid. Very few "gunfighters" actually fought. Most were just murderers.
