Western fans are familiar with the introduction of John Wayne as the Ringo Kid in Stagecoach (1939) spin-cocking his Winchester 1892.
Here's the scene if you have never seen it:
If one want to give it a whirl (pardon the pun), here's how to do it with a Winchester 94:
From Daniel Mink (Rhinestone Roper):
Join Dan Mink, The Rhinestone Roper and multiple Wild West World Champion, as he teaches HOW TO SPIN-COCK AND FAN THE WINCHESTER "94" and explains the modifications to the gun that make these Classic Western moves possible. Some of us remember Lucas McCain in THE RIFLEMAN and ROOSTER COGBURN as they spun their rifles in one hand take care of the bad guys. This video shows how any Cowboy, Cowgirl or other frontier enthusiast can handle their rifle in the same way.
Personally, I've never tried spin-cocking my Winchester 94 myself. It needs a bigger and wider loop. Knowing my luck, I'd probably shoot my foot off (or worse).
