Old Texas LEO pic...

Dude.

You can't even buy a replacement barrel for an A5 for $200 most of the time.

Believe me, I ran to the ATM as fast as my stubby little legs would carry me.

I’m willing to bet the guys in the original picture didn’t have French tips on their nails. ;-)

I don't know sir. That appears to be on the Texas state line. You people predicate some weird things!

]NMSP is one of those agencies where you don't wanna mess up or mess around with those folks!

I would not mess with anyone whose job requires them to dress like they're about to invade Poland.

This was over at “Traces of Texas” of Facebook. The caption said it was a Texas Ranger in 1946. I was drawn in by the guns and gear. My how gear has changed. No seat belts. No shotgun rack. Open / exposed trigger guard. No retention on the holster. His red light would hang from a hook in the center of the windshield, but it was stored down by the radio.

Totally different times.

Looks like a Browning shotgun... great detail in that old pic.

I'm familiar with the reputation of Texas Rangers, but I'm still impressed with this guy. He looks ready for business.

You got any suits at home?

In the Astrodome picture, I like the guy on the left with his thumb on the hammer. Looks like he is ready to take care of business.

Those are some super cool pics. Love the ladies, toting guns that would have most people these days whining about how heavy they are. Different times, indeed. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, but I was thinking more of the 1939 version.

If I wait long enough, somebody will usually say what I'm thinking.
