Alias Smith and Jones

Looking through old posts about guns used by tv cowboys. Pete Duel aka Hannibal Hayes aka Joshua Jones carried a Schofield on the tv show.

Ah yes   ;)   But remember, he didn't have to make it work.  Just had to carry it.   ::)

Show was on when I was 6.  I remember enjoying it greatly.   As I recall, Kid Curry was the gunman of the two, Hayes was the safecracker, smooth talker.   So, he really never used the pistol much on the show.  Sadly, he did in reality.   I remember my parents trying to talk to me about why he would not be on the show any longer.

I recall the show , I don't recall if it made particularly lasting impression as a show, other than
 I do recall Duel's suicide, and they tried to carry on with another actor.
Didn't go on long after that.

I’ve always enjoyed seeing unusual firearms in westerns.

. On Bonanza a traveling salesmen has a Mersin & Hulbert, Adam carried a Richard’s. On Gunsmoke there was a Patterson converted
 to cartridge. In The Searchers carried a Jenks carbine. Palladin occasionally has a 76 Winchester. Just some that come to mind.
