Increasingly difficult to find in First Edition. Edward (Ed) McGivern (1874 ? 1957) was a famous exhibition shooter, shooting instructor and author. He performed extensive research into the art of handgun shooting, particularly with the double-action revolver. McGivern, along with his friend Elmer Keith, were instrumental in pushing the envelope in the early days of magnum revolvers. While Keith was primarily interested in hunting, McGivern was more interested in police use of the revolver. He demonstrated that with proper sights and use, the .357 Magnum could be used on man-sized targets at ranges of up to 600 yards. McGivern experimented with different types of iron sights, including peep sights, and telescopic sights. His preferred type of iron sight for this use was a small-diameter rear aperture and a post with a gold bead for the front. He went on to instruct police agencies, including the FBI, in his shooting techniques. McGivern is a member of the Montana Cowboy Hall of Fame.
