Hey John... Nice Colts... They are my First favorite gun. Lugers are a close second.

I know the author of your proverb...

His name was Bill Jordan... a U.S. Border Patrolman (now deceased).

He authored an excellent book on gunfighting by almost the same title:

"No Second Place Winner"

I can remember watching a film clip of Bill Jordan back in the early 70's showing him balancing a ping pong ball on the back of his extended hand. He then dropped his hand and drew a .357 magnum and shot the ball as it passed his beltline... the man was FAST.

The book is recommended reading for this current generation of gun enthusiasts.
