The Six-Shooter was one of radio’s best western series but unfortunately, it came too late in radio’s dramatic life to have any longevity.  The hero, Britt Ponset, was a slow-talking, easy-going maverick, but dangerous when pushed into a gunfight.  The epigraph set the tone: The man in the saddle is angular and long-legged … his skin is sun-dyed brown … the gun in his holster is gray steel and rainbow mother-of-pearl, its handle unmarked.  People call them both “the Six-Shooter.”  James Stewart was perfect as the gentleman cowboy who roamed the western plains and blundered into other people’s troubles. The Six-Shooter was easily one of radio’s best westerns alongside Gunsmoke and Have Gun-Will Travel.  Despite Stewart’s great star power, the show was largely sustained. The Liggett & Myer Tobacco Company, makers of Chesterfield was interested in sponsoring, but Stewart declined, not wanting a cigarette company to tarnish his largely wholesome screen image.  The Six-Shooter ran on radio from 1953 until 1954 and did not make a transition to television.
