When John Taffin coined the phrase "Perfect Packin' Pistol," or PPP as it has come to be known by many readers, he originally defined it as a double-action or single-action sixgun with a barrel length of 4″ to 5 1/2″. It could be chambered in a cartridge that could be counted on to handle any situation arising. This means a PPP could be chambered in anything from .22 up to one of the various .500s, depending upon one's environment. Relatively broad, right? In this episode, Roy Huntington joins host Brent T. Wheat to give his thoughts on what is and what isn't a Perfect Packin' Pistol. -- Have a topic idea or guest you'd like to see in a future episode?
