"Blazing Guns" is a very, very typical sort of B-western. It's very ordinary--competently made but offering nothing more. So, if you are a fan of the genre, you'll enjoy it. And, if you aren't, this is one that won't convince you to watch more.
Like all of the Ken Maynard-Hoot Gibson films, this one has the team working as undercover marshals. The governor has decided to send them into a lawless town to investigate. Now when I say 'lawless', this doesn't mean there isn't any law--it's just that they are all bought and paid for and act more like a gang of thugs than lawmen. So, it's up to the duo to restore law and order...and niceness.
Maynard, as usual, plays lead. And Gibson plays a combination of comic relief and second lead--offering a few laughs here and there. All in all, not a bad film at all, though the plot is VERY familiar and there isn't anything to distinguish this from a thousand similar films of the era. Competent.
