If we wanted to be completely true to history, we should probably drop gunfighters and cowboys from the profession tables. Just too rare. It seems that at their heyday there were less than 40,000 Coybows in the Old West. That is about 1 person per 1000, at best.

This is one of the reasons why I never liked the Western genre. (too artificial, immature and hero-centric
)
