Wanted Dead or Alive

I've always been a fan of Steve McQueen but had never seen more than two or three episodes of Wanted Dead or Alive. I was less than a year old when it was cancelled and don't recall it at all in reruns when I was growing up. When I friend offered to loan me his boxed set of the series I jumped on it. McQueen is the best thing in the show. The rest is a fairly standard TV western, but I am enjoying it.

Now what I did remember was the Winchester Model 1892 with the sawed off barrel and stock. Doesn't seem that practical but with tons of westerns in the late 50's and early 60's I guess the show needed a gimmick.
