We see many Westerns where x is the fastest draw, and the most accurate shooter, but how many (aces) were there in the old west, did they use standard six guns?

Some of the most famous aces of the Old West include Wild Bill Hickok, Doc Holliday, Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, and Billy the Kid.
These aces gained their reputation through their skills with a six-gun, their involvement in famous shootouts and conflicts, and their larger-than-life personalities.
While there is certainly some exaggeration surrounding these figures, there is also evidence to suggest that they were indeed skilled and deadly with a six-gun. Many of them were involved in multiple gunfights and were known for their quick draw and accuracy.
The decline of the aces of the Old West can be attributed to a number of factors, including the expansion of law and order, the decrease in violent conflicts, and the rise of new industries and ways of life.
The legacy of these aces in popular culture is one of fascination and romanticization. They have been immortalized in books, movies, and TV shows, and continue to capture the imagination of people all over the world.
