Made Davis Tutt (moderately) famous in Springfield Missouri over a gambling debt. (Hicock's owed Davis)

No one knows for sure what specific gun Hicock used but he was known to carry a Smith and Wesson No. 2 Army Revolver


There's a couple things that are open to interpretation in that video. As I said above nobody knows for sure what gun Hicock was carrying and I think calling Jake McCall a "gunman" is a really big stretch

Read it was his .36 Navy Colt.

There's no documentation for certain what he was carrying. But at the time it was known that he carried a Smith & Wesson number two Army revolver.

It's entirely possible he could have been carrying a 36 but that's speculation on the part of whoever wrote it because there's no known eyewitness testimony to what he was carrying.

I think I can fairly confidently say that he was not carrying a Glock though

Not a Yeet Cannon?
 
Humm .

Yes , S&W No 2 existed at that time , 65K had been produced , and there had been some government purchases for some State Troops , so they were in circulation in immeadate post war era .

That said , every account l'd ever seen about the Tutt Affair , said Colt Navy , or generic .36 Cal . Even then , if it had been a .32 , it would have been remarked in contemporary news .

What is more open ended , is the question of what Hichock was carrying when he Died .

One of the more plausible possibilities, was a pair of S&W .44 Americans .
