"TEXAS SIXSHOOTER"

Bob "Daddy-O" Wade, July 1981

After completing installation of the world’s largest cowboy boots at the North Star Mall in San Antonio in 1980, artist and sculptor Bob “Daddy-O” Wade made a visit to Del Rio in July 1981. Wade was giving an artist’s lecture next door at the Firehouse when it was suggested he create a sculpture for the city.

Well, lucky for us, we happened to have an empty concrete base next to the shop that looked to be the perfect location. Soon, the world’s largest “Texas Sixshooter” stood tall for all of Del Rio to see.

Restoration Project

In 2022, we will begin restoration of the sculpture to its original state. If you would like to contribute or take part in the restoration process in any way (materials, donations, hands on help), please contact gary@humphreysgunshop.com.
100% of monetary donations will go to installation of a plaque about the artist and sculpture, lighting, and restoration materials, including, but not limited to, wood, paint, metal mesh, and concrete plaster. ​
