Jeff Cooper knew CAp Hardy, who had known Ed McGivern. Asked how good McGivern was

[thru]

with a handgun. McGivern was PAID by walt Goeff to do nothng but cast bullets load,shoot and then TEACH goeff, (a local rich rancher). CAp said.. "Ed was the best there ever was. It's a damned shame that he has to lie about it!". The famous trick of hitting 5 tossed up glass globes, with a revolver in each hand? that was done with birdshot loads and smoothbored revolvers. Still a difficult feat. but not anything like what was implied.
