If that's Lone Wolf Gonzaullas, that 1911 may not even have a trigger guard. I read somewhere that he liked to pistol whip uncooperative folk and pull the trigger as the gun impacted. Sort of an early flashbang I guess [emoji41] No trigger guard made it easier.

The Astrodome broke ground with Colt 45s instead of Shovels... time were different. First, there was the Houston Buffalos. Then they became the Houston Colt 45s... but a lawsuit from Colt came along, and then the Houston Astros were born.
When Bonnie and Clyde was filmed in 1966, the production company needed extras. And they wanted the extras to look like they knew how to use a gun. So the extras were all Dallas PD and the members of the Dallas Gun and Rod club. As luck would have it, many gun club member had period correct firearms to provide!
In 1928, the first US Border Patrol Station opened in Marfa Texas.

If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.
That makes two of us...
