Well, aside from the shortlived western companion to MANHUNT,
GUNSMOKE
(which I suspect, but don't know, may've been folded after
complaint/threat of trademark-infringement suit by CBS or the
producers of the radio predecessor to the TV show) and such
contributors to both magazines as Steve Frazee, or such
similar latter-day contributors to the ZANE GREY WESTERN
revival and to MIKE SHAYNE MYSTERY MAGAZINE and the other
Renown Publications in the '70s as Bill Pronzini (who isn't
too impressed with the work he did for ZGW, as I understand),
you'll do well with the likes of Ed Gorman and Loren Estleman
in western hb.
Among the most obvious descendants of hb in sf include Algis
Budrys, who had one of his sf novels published by legendary
hb house Lion, but whose ROGUE MOON is probably his most hb
sf (his Edgar nom or winning non-sf suspense
"The Master of the Hounds" is ultraviolet noir), and such
other, even more frequent amphibians such as Edward Wellen
(HIJACK), Harlan Ellison, Robert Bloch, Richard Matheson (who
has also dipped into westerns), and Ed Gorman again. Leigh
Brackett and Fredric Brown are pretty obvious citations here;
perhaps less hb is Jack/John Holbrook Vance.

Are there any Westerns people would consider
hardboiled?
How about hb Science Fiction?
