You may play the Gunslinger from your hand (into your posse) as a Shootout play (paying all costs). He enters the shootout booted. Resolution, Boot: Put the Gunslinger into your draw hand, he becomes the suit and value of your choice. Discard a card from your draw hand.

Fans voted for The Ghostly Gun to come back.
this version sacrifices an influence in the name of reducing that hefty 7 cost price tag.
or, if feigning weakness / caught off guard, you can pay the cost to suddenly join a shootout - particularly if you really need an extra 2 stud.
you can of course spice that trick up more with something to unboot your new friend like Stand Together. Or have him spring into action from Unexpected Allies or Soul Cage.
