@@johnjosephson9710 Right. Most people nowadays would not know that a classic revolver was always carried with one chamber empty, so they showed him removing the cartridges instead (even though that would be nearly an impossible task to do on a single-action weapon without getting noticed).

Lovely to see one of my favorite spots! There was a time when I was driving between Albuquerque and Lubbock on the regular and almost every trip entailed a "picnic with Billy" especially when my son was along for the ride. He'd supply the action and security with his cap-gun rig from the museum up the road and I'd supply the history and sandwiches. Oddly we rarely ever had company as most people never drove the extra few miles from the highway to see the real gravesite. Needless to say it's well worth it. Much thanks for bringing up some great memories.

Billy walks over to Grant, says he admires his new pistol, and casually pulls it out of Grant's holster. Billy knows something that Grant doesn't, namely that earlier in the day, Finan fired three shots with this pistol and never reloaded. Without Grant noticing, Billy spins the cylinder so that the next three shots will fall on the three empty catridges. Just as casually, Billy slips the gun back into Grant's holster.

He saw the guy was a loose cannon and going to do something bad, if not to him then someone else, so he set him up to fail. Billy the Kid was a bad dude, but he saw this guy was an indiscriminate threat. That he was then able to legally justify killing him was just a bonus for him.

Thank you Karl ;-) ..at this time, was Billy a civillian, a deputy (or a regulator), or was he an outlaw? Was sent Billy there to control the increasingly drunk and belligerant Joe? To mostly other commentators, I would imagine (perhaps wrongly,) the real-life events as they unfolded before the shooting started would have been a mite to a more than a while longer in occurring than is described in this excellent video's running time; along with usual bar-pub talk, enquiry, banter, light-weight jokes etc, the build up of this event could've been from minutes to 5 hours or more. Although January in those parts it doesn't seem warm unless only in windless sunlight, likely using shorts of licquor & other fermentations to stay 'warm'.. These bellow are my own erronous assumptions to some of the theatrical banter of hoodwinking Joe. [imagine them in an Estavez voice (or a want of any other,) in your own head(s)/mind(s).] *"..thats a mighty fine piece you got there Joe, she's well made too, I can't feel any roughness between the trigger and the hammer, and she has a smooth rotation too."* (while examining, handling and doing the actions Karl described) *"There you go Joe, back as she was.* (hands the gun back to Joe) *...that's sure a fine pistol for a... mmm,* [smirks slightly] *'a mighty fine man'."*
