D MCGIVERN'S CHALLENGE to<br />

E the Hollywood gunfighters is a<br />

rip-snorting start-off for <strong>GUNS</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong>'s<br />

third year of bringing to readers<br />

timely, provocative, factual and fascinating<br />

articles about guns and the people<br />

who make and use them. McGivern<br />

is along into his 80's now but the old<br />

sparkle which has made his scholarly<br />

book, "Fast and Fancy Revolver<br />

Shooting," one of the greatest classics<br />

in arms writing " flashes forth as he<br />

lays it on the line for the top guns of<br />

the wild, wild west in Hollywood.<br />

A challenge to cowboy stars is Mc-<br />

Givem's theme-to get the men in the<br />

u<br />

entertainment world who very literally<br />

live by their guns, to show just how fast<br />

they really are. And they don't have to<br />

pit their leather slapping skill against<br />

somebody else, loser to die, but against<br />

the cold and impersonal precision of<br />

McGivern's elaborate, modern, and infallible<br />

electronic timing devices.<br />

A little on the spectacular side is the<br />

lavish spread of photos of "~ings Who<br />

Were Gun Collectors." Royalty in years<br />

Perfect shape is an ideal sought after<br />

by fashion models and ballistic ex-<br />

perts alike. They know that the<br />

RIGHT SHAPE means a direct hit<br />

instead of a near miss.<br />
