Appaloosa was an underrated western movie, IMO. Everett Hitch, portrayed by Viggo Mortensen, was a good character play. I liked his choice of enforcement weaponry. It was supposed to be an 8 gauge, but was in reality a Colt 1878, 12 ga., that had been "sleeved" in a manner to make the bores look much larger. The job was well done, too. Hitch carried brass 8s on his shell belt, but the gun really fired 12 ga. blanks.

May God bless America and those who defend her.
