    I checked it out at the local library but here is an Amazon link to give an idea of the book.

    Thanks for book Info. I am reading it online now. Good read, fairly concise recount of the very numerous searches, arrests, gunfights and protective details Hamer and fellow Rangers were sent on. But still conveys a good sense of his character and the times.

    Here's an interesting and short video on the gun used by Hamer to kill Bonnie and Clyde.

    Saw a one hour program on National Geo station on TV (cable) last night. They reenact several events from the career of B&C. One event there were shootings and one member of the B&C gang was shooting a Beretta 92 !

    I saw that as well, I have Tivo'd it. Sigh.

    There will be an article coming out on the Luckygunner website soon that will do a deep-dive into the guns used. I had lunch with the article's author today. I'll post a link in this thread when it goes live.

    Finally round up $8.99 to sign up for Netflix for a month to see this movie and Designated Survivor shows.
