Though the proverbial "showdown at high noon" is largely a media invention, many famous gunslingers of the American Old West did engage in formal duels at least occasionally. The main differences from the popular media version are twofold:
Formal duels were rare; most famous gunslingers duelled only once or twice in their entire careers, and a gunslinger with three or more duels under their belt would have been considered extraordinarily prolific (and also extraordinarily stupid – see below);
Those gunslingers who did duel typically made a point of accepting challenges only from opponents of demonstrably inferior skill; there was something of an unspoken agreement among prolific duellists to avoid duelling each other by any means necessary, as they knew the surest way to cut short one's career was to duel someone who actually knew what they were doing!
Anyway, the reason I bring this up is because some day I want to write a semi-competitive tabletop RPG where the player characters are all rival gunslingers living the high life on manufactured drama and exaggerated tales of their legendary prowess while going to elaborate lengths to avoid having to actually fight each other.

I know Old West Dukat is what you secretly craved this Tuesday night.
(Best regards to Masters of the West, whose works inspired me to do THIS. Really. It was pure pleasure to paint).

Scrubs - the meanest outlaw in the wild winds. If he gets you cornered you're done for so you best just beg for your life.

incorrect cowboy pickup lines
did it hurt when you fell? off your horse just now, it looked bad.
if I could rearrange the alphabet I would make it shorter because it’s too damn long to remember.
do you have a map? I keep getting lost in this area and need to find my way back south.
save your horse and ride a train. it’s such a long way there, might as well relax a bit!
how was Heaven when you left? last I heard, she came down with lumbago.
have we met before? I think I’ve seen your face on a wanted poster.
do you know what material my shirt is made out of? the shop owner says linen but it feels weird on my skin.
is that a gun in your pocket? because that’s not really safe, you should get a holster.

Elegant 1900s Mexican Saddle by Lozano
Intricately detailed light brown 1900s Mexican Saddle with long saddle bags artfully designed with a scalloped border and adorned with a combination of deep floral carving; lavish two-tone pitiado (yucca fiber) with a Greek Key border design framing an embroidered grape-vine pattern with grape clusters cleverly fabricated from fine silver threads. Silver mountings include a figural repousse flat horn, maker stamped “E ROMAN / MEXICO”, repousse adornments on the fork, swell and gullet, plus heavy gauge slotted silver conchos and lavish stirrups. Highly detailed silver repousse stirrups. The cowhide seat cover was added many years ago but is not original to the rawhide seat and should be removable. Excellent overall condition including original cinch.
