Clint Eastwood's Legendary Gunfight With Live Ammo Can It Be Done?

- Warning: Fast draw with live ammunition is dangerous. Never fast draw with live ammunition.
A year ago I couldn't duplicate Clint Eastwood's Legendary Gunfight in the movie A Fistful Of Dollars with live ammunition. Now that I have my SAA Race Gun running again I give it another go.
About time somebody tried to recreate this. It's ridiculous how underexposed your channel is. You've got pretty much all that is needed - competitive shooting, SAA fanning and spaghetti westerns.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks that LOL! Thanks for the kind words. I have been pushing shorts lately and that helps a bit. Thanks for watching!
I know..I just FOUND THIS 😅
You did it with actual live ammo? You sir are a legend. The old west still is alive today!
Thanks! I have always loved this movie gunfight as so many people have.
I'm really impressed, I'm a young teen that got into the western genre by chance and then rabbit holed down through 1800s American history and what I feel I always learned in the old stories was that fanning can't work. Quickdraw duels can work, Wild Bill did it. Dual wielding can work, Wyatt Earp supposedly did it (he was a bit of a liar so), long range accurate pistol shots can work, Harry Morse did it. But I can't recall a single story were fanning was attempted and worked perfectly. I was convinced it was impossible to do right, this is a rare time I'm so happy to be wrong.
You've got the passion for the Western genera like I have.😃
Tuco is using a gun optimized for fanning -a race gun. And probably light loads. Don't get me wrong, it's still very impressive! Just saying, if you tried this with a "standard" .45 Colt and factory loads, it would not work (And you would risk injuring yourself and others!).
@@graydanerasmussen4071 Yes. If I were to use full power loads fanning would be difficult and fast accurate fanning would be impossible even with a race gun. Just having fun trying to blend a fantasy gunfight with some real shooting and trying to get in the speed range that was presented in the film. The loads I used here were over twice as powerful as Cowboy action loads but much less than a full power 45 Colt load.
@@TUCOtheratt My post was in no way meant to be disparaging! :) I live in Denmark, where you're just about allowed a stick to throw (if it's a small stick), But I have done a little shooting, enough to appreciate the level of skill behind your feat.
My concern was that someone who learned to shoot on Netflix would try their hand at fanning a stock gun with full power loads! :)
@@graydanerasmussen4071 Oh yeah for sure, I was just under the impression it was entirely fictional. Even if race guns didn't exist in the 1800s, and would have no way to work accurately even in a newer model or such.
And now for something completely different. I'm turning 70 soon and back in the 70's I did leather work, including making SA holsters, belts, saddles,etc. While watching your videos I hear the creaking of the leathers in your rig and it brings me back to my days as a young man. Such a beautiful sound to hear that sound of leather against leather; something one never hears today with all the plastic guns and kydex holsters. Well except for my 35 year old leather EDC rig and all steel 1911. Oh, and I do love your live action shooting too.
Thanks for the nice comment! I love the sound of creaking leather as well.
Such a beautiful skill. I'm an infantryman so I'm used to an m4 and an m17. Held a revolver in my hand maybe 5 times in my entire life. But I could watch this all day..... my only problem is that watching this channel is gonna get me killed
...by my wife when I go buy a wheel gun tomorrow 😅
Thanks for watching and the nice comment! 😃
To me this looks like mission accomplished. Very good shooting.
Amazing! You reproduced the real movie magic, down to the revolver that never needs reloading! 😂😂😂 Fantastic shooting, you’d be a legend 150 years ago.
Thanks!!!
I don’t recall a Sergio Leone movie that was unrealistic in that way .
I know the Spaghetti Westerns were not very well acclaimed but I love them. I've lost count of the amount of times I've watched them. You did Clint proud!
Ha ha . Thanks for the nice comment. I love the Spaghettis too!😀
TUCOtherat: You may now kindly apologize to my mule.
Great job, actually much better than the man himself…never slowed the original down to look closely until now BUT upon further inspection Clint totally whiffed the second shot and the last shot was never remotely close to the guy furthest to the left…still an epic scene and Clint is the man!
The scene is my favorite in all western cinema
This is fantastic, a great tribute to the original film, keep up the fine work
Thank you very much!
This is probably my new favorite channel. Subd on the first video I saw, which was a short of you doin the triple shot lol. Just found you today! How the hell have I never seen this channel before is beyond me..
Thanks!
The triple shot short is in the algorithm now... that brought me here too. Very cool stuff
Dear god that was the coolest thing i've ever seen, amazing work there mister
Thank you for the nice comment 😃
Wow I love the hammer on this gun. Also the rooster in the background is phenomenal haha
I’ve always wanted to see that recreated
I've seen everyone of your videos, many twice. You're pure entertainment. I started watching fot the fanning. I continue to watch your outfits. I love the guns, leather, and cowboy hats!
The next time someone insults your mule and refuses to apologize, you'll be ready. 😂
Ha Ha 😃
Great idea to add clothes this time around. Gives a distinct visual cue.
Brilliant. 😊
Thank you! 😊
Fun video to watch...love the little building
Thanks for watching 😀
Great Job! Ive bought my first 1873 Colt thanks to you!
Cool! Thanks for watching and the nice comment!
Keep up the good work, love single action. Have quite a few myself. God bless and be safe!!!
Love the sound of leather (former holster maker) 😁
New subscriber, glad I found your channel.
Re-creating these old Hollywood gunfights is a great idea!
Welcome aboard! Thanks!
Excellent! Would love to see a video on your gun and gear. 👍🏼
That's coming soon. "How does a race saa work." Thanks for watching!
Top job, well done: Many years ago, around 1970 I think, I read that Clint Eastwood could actually draw, shoot and hit a target in 1/4 second. No matter how hard I tried, I could only draw and put a round on a target at 10 feet/3 metres in 1/2 second. This was, however, with a Browning HP 9mm from an army holster. How you, and people like Jerry Miculek, do what you do with a gat is beyond me. I have nothing but admiration for your skill level.
Thanks for watching my video. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Actually 1/2 second draw with a semi auto is very fast. The world record with an SAA starting with hand on the gun is just under a 1/4 second I believe. Jerry Miculek fast draws are around 3/4 of a second with a semi auto.
The ten seconds we get in ISSF seems like an eternity, you would have already reloaded.
My favourite black-powder channel.
On another channel I heard it said the Pietta walnut grips don't fit properly compared to Uberti, but on both my Pietta Remington 1858s it would be impossible for them to fit better.
I've found, though, that they aren't interchangeable from one pistol to another, so the grips from a 2002 don't fit properly on a 2024 Pietta. I think they altered the location peg position on the frame around 2015.
he'll yeah borther
Thats impressive regardless of the time.
Thanks for watching!
now THIS is awesome content. well done.
Thanks! A lot of work goes into these long videos I'm glad you enjoyed it! And... Thanks for commenting too. It really helps the channel!
If Clint needs some help, he now knows who to call.
Ha Ha 😃 Thanks
This is too friggin cool! Keep it up man! I just found your channel this weekend and I'm hooked!
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoy my content.😃
Great rig. Cool. 👍👍
Thanks 👍
Another awesome video! :D
Watched a couple of your videos,and was impressed,subscribed.
Welcome aboard! Thank you!
Yep that last one was a winner
Outstanding 👍
Thank ya kindly 😃
Oh wow shooting good looks like you beat Clit Eastwoodys 🤠
Very well done! It's guaranteed that clint himself could not have done as well. Excellent video. Really enjoyed it.
Thank you very much!
Bravo.
You should include the mule joke too ! Great video.
*fake cigarette !! 🙄😁
Thanks
We need more videos!!!
Big one coming out tomorrow.
Wonderful stuff
Thanks man!
@@TUCOtheratt welcome mate
Good job man, I really enjoyed watching your shooting, hats off to you!
Thanks for watching man!
Awesome!
Thanks!
I done told Billy to stop hangin behind that saloon!
All these old movies and video games like red dead redemption got me into these things when I was younger now I finally got my first single action revolver and it looks like a really old one even though it's new then I found your channel and man I'm in love with this type of stuff I really dig you're hat to by the way and can you give me any recommendations or suggestions on what sport I could get into or just do something similar to you I really want to get good with these older firearms and be a part of this culture
I do my own thing, not really a sport. But cowboy action competitions are good place to start. Thanks for the nice comment and for watching 😃
Just discovered your channel, badass! Keep them coming!
Thanks!
You did it !!!
Thanks for watching!
Shooting as much as you, as fast as you, with what I imagine must be a really light mainspring, have you ever blown one up with a hang-fire? That dead hole scared me to death when you just kept fanning it, haha! Awesome shooting, I have almost no confidence I could do this with one of my double-actions! I don't do cowboy shooting, but it's always super intrigued me.
Thanks for watching 😀. I love fanning single actions from the hip.
So the real difficulty of this seems to be the transition between the second and third shot. Bigger gap to cover but you go to the right just fine, it's coming back left over that gap that's the issue cause shots 4 and 5 seem to be good. You got a laser bore sight? Put it in, lock the hammer back so you can go through the motion of fanning without moving the cylinder and just move through the transitions. I bet just a few times of that and youd have it sorted beyond any doubt. My little cartridge bore sight has helped me in so many ways. I really want to get one of the fancy trainer systems but we work with what we've got.
Yes the third target was hardest to hit both time I tried this! I've tried laser sights and they don't show up well outside in sunlight. Thanks for watching!
@@TUCOtheratt yeah fair enough. You do have to wait till low light or be inside. Be kind of hard to set that up indoors. otherwise practicing in low light might be totally counter productive.
I used to do hip shooting like that out in the desert with a Colt .45 automatic pistol. I found it difficult to do that safely, but I did. I was not very fast but I was accurate and safe. I could hit the targets; my targets were the tall propane tanks.
That is hard to do that safely and then get the speed up with live ammunition.
The building at the back in there looks a lot like a saloon for monkeys. I do think you did an excellent job considering the use of live ammo and it's nerve-wracking!
Thanks for watching. Nice to hear from a fellow pistol shooter!😃
Don't laugh at Clint Eastwood's mule.
And if you do, you’d better apologize! 😂
That'l do laddy, that'l do!
Thanks for watching!
New subscriber here. I've really been enjoying going through your videos. Great job! What a shooter! Just curious... I wonder if Clint Eastwood has ever seen your video? Would be awesome if he left a comment... :-)
I believe you just had to wait until high noon for it to work
Ha Ha!
Awesome job!! Wonder if it could be part of a competition?
I Love it 😊✌
Thanks !!
Bob munden would be proud!
Thanks! Bob Munden was the best ever!
WOW...man you are fast.
Might benefit from splatter targets. I use them exclusively now.
This is excellent work, truly. But if you want to put one over on 'ol Clint, do it again with full power loads as if it were a real gunfight rather than movie magic with blanks or practice/competition reduced power loads.
That would be fun. You show me bro. You got a video of you doing anything...no? Ok whatever.
@@TUCOtheratt Wow. I give a compliment and a suggestion for a video I would find even more interesting, get attacked in return.
@@Abzocold I might have been a little harsh with you. I get about 2% that comment on this video something to the effect of "do it with full power ammo or it's meaningless" You didn't say that. So I'm, sorry for my over reaction.
The truth is that full power 45 loads would make the gun kick so bad that only slow shooting would be possible and would be boring to watch so there would be no point in making a video that is so mediocre. The loads I shoot are 200 gr at about 725 fps. That's 2 and a half times more powerful than Cowboy Action minimums and 35% more powerful than Cisko's live ammo loads on TV.
@@TUCOtheratt I gotcha. There are always trolls who want to tear down those who are doing things well. I compete in USPSA Open Major division so I understand that the speed and accuracy you are showing in this video are remarkable even with zero recoil loads. Learning that your loads aren't mouse farts with ultra light projectiles is even more impressive. Since your loads are nearly 3/4 the power factor of the historical black powder load, I'll retract my request for a full load attempt as the difference isn't as much as I had thought.
@Abzocold Thanks man. 😊 Hey I'm interviewing USPSA Trainer Steve Anderson Fri 4 pm eastern on a livestream.
I'd rather face Clint than Tuco.
Plus, Clint is like 100-years-old now.
That was awesome
Great idea
Thank you! 😊
nice freaking job holy smokes. you are one badass dude
Your mistake, only 4 coffins😅
some real good shooting dude!!
Thanks for watching!
Impressive Shooting, shooting to your immediate left is hard, I'd always miss the 50 meter left side pop up target doing rifle qual in the army.
Thanks for watching 😀
Nice shootin!
You crack me up. Fake cig. 😂😂😂
BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Thank you!
Where do you get all of the shirts?they look amazing the ones on you I mean
I buy my stuff at Miles City Saddlery in Miles City MT. Thanks for watching!
I think ya got em
Salvation Army does not approve what you do to them old shirts.
Ha Ha 😃
Clint didn't either...🤠
The difference is Clint did in in under 2 sec and did it all on first try :)
Ha Ha. Clint Eastwood is my favorite, but it was a movie, and no, he didn't do it in one take. In fact, there is a clip of him missing his draw on an early take. Thanks for watching 😀
Are You Standing at the correct distance
I don't know.
I've never shot a 73 Colt but I wonder if the ungloved left hand has anything to do with it? Maybe an unconscious avoidance of hurting your palm on the trigger?
I usually tape or bandaid my fingers for that reason. Gloves get in the way
@@TUCOtheratt Interesting and thank you. I hope to get a couple Colt clones soon and I am going to remember that.
@@dalepres1Pietta Great Western 2 SAA is the best IMO
BE-Yooty😅
What jeans are those? They look awesome with the outfit.
That was extremely impressive.
It's kind of impossible to tell by the footage whether you got the "center guy" twice or not. When you go back past him after shooting the far right target, "center guy" is still moving from being hit by the first shot. So take the win! Even "Joe" (Clint Eastwood's character) might've missed the center guy in the Baxters' front yard with that second shot at him.
See what happens when you hurt a mule's feelings?
Was there any particular way you practiced up for this attempt?
Ha Ha "I'll take the win." Yes there was a training program I went through. I'm making a long video on it in a couple weeks Thanks!
@@TUCOtheratt Cool. I look forward to seeing it when it comes out.
Clint might of had some help from Sergio Leone, do you remember what gun Clint was using in that movie?
In some clips the gun looks like a 38 cal, in others 45. Not sure but I can tell it has extended leads meaning that it had some extensive custom machining that was done on it.
Was this Clint Eastwood himself drawing in the movie?
Yes it was.
@@TUCOtheratt oh ok, maybe a double who could draw quicker then the actor 👍🏻
What is the model number of your timer
Competition Electronics Pocket Pro Shot Timer
Cool video. You never said what Clint's time was in the original shootout. Obviously, they all died and he was the impeccable gun fighter, but it would allow us to see where your time was compared to the movie.
Great Question. It depends on how you look at it. The best I could tell from examining the film clip on a movie editor, Clint's time was depicted as about 1.70.1.80 from start of movement to last shot. The film was sped up a bit (15% or so) for effect (I cover that in a video) So the actual time was about 2 seconds which is still amazing to do with a mostly stock SAA. I also had reaction time to the start beep which is about .15 in my case. So I rounded the challenge to 2 seconds to react and shoot five times hitting with every bullet. Thanks!
@@TUCOtheratt thanks for the information looking forward to the video
@@EH-nw6bu Here it is Thanks ruclips.net/video/xBjGD0bAKT0/видео.html
@@TUCOtheratt Great video, truly appreciate the break down and explanation
I asked in another video but I will ask in a different way. Is it your mind that you have to keep from racing or your hands. The reason why I ask is that in football. If I went to catch a ball in a crowd.
I literally forgot everything else Except my hands and the ball. When being the catcher on a baseball team, I literally Set my glove And dumped everything out of my head until the ball hit my glove. It took me a while to discover I was doing this. I am wondering if you've experienced dumping everything out of your head, Doing the deed, And then starting your brain again. It's a funny experience
Yes. It's called subconscious mind shooting when you focus all your attention on paying attention to one thing. Also when properly done you have the experience of watching your body doing the shooting while you aren't trying.
@@TUCOtheratt Thank you, Is very interesting
You almost did it last yr and now you succeeded. Like i said last time...Eastwood was using blanks. He didn't hit anybody. You used live ammo and hit everybody. I reckon it took more takes for him to make it "look" like he hit every shot than it did you to really do it.😂
Did gunslingers in the old west ever have modifications to their single-actions like what you have here?
That's a great question. Some did what they could in that primitive world. The guns were crude by comparison with today's single action revolvers even when brand new. Mostly they just hoped they would fire when needed, misfires were common. Some like Dallas Studenmire did shorten barrels to speed up time getting out of the holster. I read that Wild Bill Hickok sometimes tied back his triggers on his revolvers to speed up slip thumb shooting with a gun in each hand. He was very deadly using that technique.
What gun are u using is it a single action
Yes. It's a single action revolver. Thanks 😊
@@TUCOtheratt ok thanks I love ur role play content with little buddy
Fastest in the west
Always trying to destroy people's movie fantasies. Smart alec.
One bad dude
