They say that even Bat Masterson went across the street to retrieve his shotgun he had lent out to a shopkeeper when a notorious outlaw rode into Dodge City.
Although James Butler Hickok did very well with his brace of Colt 51 Navy revolvers.

Hot load indeed.
Looks like the gun was held up against poor Pancho's back.
Or, more likely, stuck into the mud and then fired.

The old adage "kills on both ends" comes to mind.

Looks to be one of those new-fangled steel barrels.
Probably had a mud dobber's nest built in it.

I agree with Jonesy, had it been the result of a "Hot" load it would have blown in the chamber, not way down there near the muzzle.
"The old adage "kills on both ends" comes to mind."
That normally applies to recoil which may well have actually been reduced on this shot. Not truly a very efficient method of "Mag-na-Porting" though.

Looks like the action opened up I suspect that's how he lost his eye.

Would a "hammerless" shotgun likely have been in use by a deputy sheriff in 1896? It would be interesting to know details about the SG such as make, model, etc.

Looks a lot like a 94 Remington.
