Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Wanted: Dead or Alive is an American Western television series starring Steve McQueen (actor) as the bounty hunter Josh Randall. It aired on CBS for three seasons from 1958-1961. The black-and-white program was a spin-off of a March 1958 episode of Trackdown, a 1957-1959 western series featuring Robert Culp as a Texas Ranger named Hoby Gilman.McQueen's character of Josh Randall is a Confederate veteran and bounty hunter with a soft heart. He often donates his earnings to the needy and helps his prisoners if they have been wrongly accused. Randall carries a shortened Winchester Model 1892 carbine, called the "Mare's Leg", in a holster patterned after "gunslinger" rigs then popular in movies and television.The 1987 film of the same title is a Setting Update of sorts starring Rutger Hauer as Randall's great-grandson, who is also a bounty hunter.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Anachronism Stew: The Mare's Leg is a cut down Winchester model 1892 carbine in 44-40 caliber, but the bullets in Josh's cartridge belt are 45-70 caliber rounds used in the larger, more powerful rifles of the day. The producers wanted to use the 45-70s because they were more visually impressive than the relatively small, pistol sized rounds actually used in the 1892 carbine.

Awesome, but Impractical: The "Mare's Leg" is too short to be fired like a rifle and if fired like a handgun requires an awkward and uncomfortable angle on the wrist. Although visually striking, from a practical standpoint it is almost useless for self-defense.

Bounty Hunter: Josh. Some episodes like "Sheriff of Red Rock" had him deal with less scrupulous bounty hunters who would try and jump him to take his prisoner and claim the reward for themselves.
