In the old West, nobody ever said "gunslinger."
Hollywood came up with that term in the 1930s. The most common word actually used back then was "gunhand." "Shootist," "pistolier," and occasionally "pistolero" were also used, but less common.
The word "gunslinger" is bullshit, just like so many other things that come from Hollywood.

Friend: "Dude, what's this old black and white cowboy picture?"
Me: "That's my Great-Grandfather when he and his older brothers had to ride with a posse going after a serial rapist in southwest Arizona in 1916."
Friend: "Your gramps was a gunslinger? Cool! He must have shot all kinds of fools!"
Me: "Nobody said gunslinger back then, fuckstick, they were called gunhands. And no, Great-Grandpa wasn't a gunhand just because he knew how to shoot. He wasn't a bounty hunter or anything like that. They went to apprehend the fucker, not just kill him outright. They caught him and brought him back. He stood trial, was convicted, and they hanged his ass."

In gunland, everyone owns a gun. Why does everyone own a gun in gunland, you ask? It's hard to say actually. Some say it's to defend liberty and the bill of rights. Others say it's for hunting. Still others say it's for inner city gangs. And still others say it's for school shootings. Who knows why people do what they do in the mysterious land of gunland.
