I've seen the only known picture of Billy standing there with a Winchester and a revolver in holster. Many have identified it as a .41 Colt.
I heard or read that the shotgun Billy used in his escape, was loaded with dimes.
I rode the Billy The Kid trail on my motorcycle a few years back. Amazing country. Had lunch in Fort Sumner, walked around what was then part of Tunstall's ranch, visited the jail in Lincoln, spent the night in Las Vegas NM.....I have a friend in Ruidoso that took me to the site of an old mill that was the scene of one of Henry McCarty's gun fights. I highly recommend the journey. Some stunning country to see.
I’ve never had heard of Las Vegas, NM only Nevada
