barreled Colts 7A-inch barrels or over,
are carried on the belt in plain view for
long-range shooting, and also as a blind,
and pair of 3S Smith & Wessou, or bet
ter a pair of "saWed-off' ass, are carried
in the breast pockets of a cape overcoat,
or in the side pockets of an ordinary short
coat, then one is outfftted In the best pos
sible manner so far as revolvers are con-
cerned. The breastpocket pair can be used,
either one or two, for ordinary pocket use
when occasion does not require one to be
heavily armed or prepared for instant
trouble.
When Two RevOlvers Are Carried.
If two revolvers are carried they should
by all means be just alike in every way,
as then the two hands will work at the
same time and in the same manner when
shooting two revolvers at once. If revol-
Vers of different styles or sizes are used
the hands become confused in rapid work
with two revolvers, and both accuracy
and swiftness are lost. The only exception
TO this rule is when one revolver is worn on
belt in plain view and the other one con-
cealed under cape or elsewhere Even
then it is best to have them just alike, for
then, If occasion requires one can be
used In either hand If one Is carrying
two revOlvers 1t is often an advantage to
wear one on belt in sight and the other
concealed, because some occasions re-
quire that one should pretend to lay aside
all weapons when it is good policy to re-
main secretly armed, if possible. In shoot
ing two revolvers II is better to fire them
alternately. When one revolver recolls
throw it forward and down, cooking It
IL at the same time with the thumb. and
shoot 1t just after he cher revolver has
recoiled.
With Knife and Gun.
For close range work one revolver and
a good knife are better than two revolv-
ers. The tenderfoot armed In this way
usually holds the knife In his left hand
woman fashion, that is with the blade
downward, while he holds the gun in his
right hand both weapons being held close
TO the body. In such d position a knife is
of little use, as ones reach with it is very
limited, and the wrist can be grasped by
the adversary either as the arm ascends
or is 1t descends. Then, too a man with
in reach of another, who has the quick
ness, nerve and strength of hand, wrist
and arm, can easily wrench a gun out
of the hand of another before ii can be
fired. Even If the gun is fired the nuzzle
as elevated and the shot will usually prove
to be harmless. Should the gun not be
wrenehed out of the hand it viii be grasp
ed and useless until freed Under such
circumstances the man who has hold of
the barrel stands much the best show of
getting. control of the gum other things
being equal because his grip is much the
best. the handle or stock giving a moor
hold, and the hammer will be forced into
the flesh between the thumb and the fore
finger, causing great pain, besides acting
as a fulcrum for the man who has hold
of the barrel. In such a struggle a knife
held blade downward in the left hand is
of little use. But IL one stands in the ap-
proved boxers position, with the left hand
and foot well advanced, with the hands
held low, and with a gun in the left hand
and a knife. double-edged one preferred,
In the right hand, with the blade pointing
upward as a sword is held, then one Is in
the best position either for offense or de-
Tense. If an adversary grabs the gun in
the left hand the knife in the right hand
will quickly settle matters, as by taking
step either forward or sideways with the
right foot, one can reach several feet with
the knife in such a way that the knife
hand or arm cannot be grasped by the
| enemy.
How to Arm Heavily.
To be as we'll armed as possible with the
least weight, the best choice and dispo-
sition of weapons is to have two 45-colt' S
| six-shooters, one on the belt In sight and
| one in the left hand concealed beneath
a cape. In the right hand, beneath the
cape have a long, razor-keen, double-edg-
ed knife with a blued blade. This is for
a rough and tumble mixup at short range
| For long range the two guns are, of couse
the best, leaving the knife for close quar-
tiers. In a hand-to-hand struggle a knife
| IS worth two guns, as results of all such
| affairs show when the number and kind
| OF wounds are compared. Then, too most
men fear a knife more than they do
