The ace of the Gâchette is generally a male Stéréotype of the Conquête of the West. It is about an expert of the shooting to the Pistolet, gaining its fame following the duels from where he leaves inevitably victorious.

Presentation

Haloed of a reputation which very often precedes it, the ace of the trigger is a gunner except par, left victorious many armed duels and combat.

The term is used to designate several stereotyped characters of the Far West: the Franc-tireur, Hired killer or even Bargain hunter. Billy the Kid was as for him one out it law, others are side of justice, like Pat Garrett or Wyatt Earp.

Have trigger can thus be in turn a gangster, a robber, or even a murderer who prevail on the side civilized of the Border and which finds refuge on other side, still escaping any rule. It can also be a man of law, sometimes a solitary dispenser of justice, sometimes a Shérif, charged to put the outlaws out of state to harm.

But the aces of the trigger generally appear under the features of a Cow-boy. In the Western S, this last carries the gun to the belt, low under the hip, quickly seizes its weapon, car and rengaine of only one gesture, not without to have made turn its weapon around the index before.
