Blurb: 
Folks said that Waxahachie Smith was finished when his enemies cut off his trigger-fingers. But he came from a breed that did not accept defeat. So he still rode the range, ready to sell his fighting skills to the highest bidder. Nor was he ever out of employment when it found he could still handle a gun with deadly speed. The Colt carried by Smith looked like an ordinary Civilian Model Peacemaker. Except that it had no trigger and its short smooth hammer-spur was set low on the hammer. Internally, the trigger half of the bolt spring had been removed and the bolt-cam on the hammer reduced in length. The barrel was without rifling and the .45 bullets in the cylinder each held three balls. By converting his Colt into a slip gun, Smith removed the need for a trigger-finger - and made it the fastest, most deadly weapon in the West.
