The deeds and life of Frank Hamer are almost unbelievable ....He was in like 70 fire-fights, killed 50 or so outlaws, and was wounded 17 times ...Yes, the T R museum on I-35 in Waco TX.....it's worth the trip...
All of that is a big exaggeration. As a young man he was wounded with a shotgun. At Sweetwater, Texas, he was wounded in the leg and shoulder. He didn't kill anywhere near 50 outlaws. He tried to avoid gunfights. His reputation allowed criminals to give up and go to jail. Ironically, he was the only Texas Ranger to lose a prisoner by lynch mob.
Hamer was a real hero who chased criminals, not headlines. Gotta wonder what he'd have thought about Kevin Costner's portrayal of him. One tough man, that's for sure!
Excellent episode! Frank Hamer had bought several extended magazines from Hillyard Chemical in St. Joseph, Missouri. Hillyard, which is still in business today, operated The Police Supply Company. In the 1930’s and 1940’s, this was one of the leading police tactical companies in the US. The magazines that Captain Hamer bought were 10 round. I believe the standard magazine was five rounds. The .35 Remington, is often overlooked compared to the .30/30 Winchester. The .35 had a heavier bullet and an edge in energy. While Marlin did chamber the Model 336 lever action rifle in .35 Remington, the fact that the .30/30 was offered in the Model 94 Winchester lead to it’s greater popularity. The .30/30 may have killed more whitetail deer, the .35 Remington killed Bonnie and Clyde!
Frank Hamer had two guns the day of the ambush, the model 8 Remington and his colt single action he called “old lucky” The colt 38 super was given to him after. He hated machine guns like the Thompson. He was surgical with his rifle and didn’t believe in spray and pray shooting. Great video thanks.
Really interesting video about Frank hamers choice of weapons. A true legend of his time . Bonnie and Clyde deserved every round that morning in my opinion
Love the part where he goes into the gun shop with a shopping list .. i think that's near every young boys dream isn't it ? well it was back in my day as a kid late 1960s-70s !
I have two of these Model 8's, one a .30 Remington and one a .35 Remington. My father and grandfather used them for whitetail deer hunting, and I've done the same. I had the suspicion that a Model 8 was one of the guns used to kill Bonnie and Clyde, so was very interested in this video. Thanks for putting it out there!
The Account I read in GO DOWN TOGETHER had Hamer during the ambush of Clyde and Bonnie using a Colt Monitor machine rifle. In the film Highwaymen he is shown using a Remington model 8
I agree with your comment about criminals getting popular and the hero’s of law enforcement name disappear. I never heard of Frank Hamer until learning about Bonnie and Clyde. Even then he was a foot note. Even Bass Reeves is little known to people and he was one tough law man.
Not only in USA . In late 18th century, in south western part of HRE the gang of ,Hanickel' caused a lot of problems, because this part of HRE was split into lots of independent territories. The man, who could arrest ,Hanikel' is also forgotten. He was the ,Amtmann' /leader of a wurttembergian ,county' and in bis days a wellknown person in fighting criminals, even this was not his intended duty as ,Amtmann'.
@@jeerrrrrrryyyyy : This man was the leader of Oberamt Horb, Oberamt was up to 1935 the wurttembergian word for Landkreis/ county in USA. This man, i habe forgotten his name. His duty was administrating such an Oberamt. In a german history magazine he was noted some months ago. In this article was written, that he was interessted , why criminals did their crimes. So this gave him some knowledge, how to prevent crime. Also he ordered the judges, to do not to hard sentences, so that he was seen by criminals as a thrustworty official, and they sometimes shared their knowledge of crime. Also the Amtmann did a lot of paperwork with nonwurttembergian officials, so that he had lots of connections to the small and smallest german states.
If it wasn’t for browning Remington would not even be a thing. He designed so many weapons for them until he got smart and decided to break away from them because they barely paid him anything.
AWSOME short video and bonnie and clyde were both POS . I support the BLUE 100% . my great great uncle on my moms side was a Texas Ranger with company B he died at the age of 103. My mom got to know him . she said he was tough as nails but a very gentleman.
I had two of these rifles, a .30 cal. and a .35 cal. Both very early mfr, low serial numbers. Sold them off over 20 years ago when I needed money. Bet they are worth a lot more now than what I got for them then.
What is interesting to me is that the Model 8 Remington is so named because it was introduced in 1908; 116 years ago. When people get all torqued up about modern AR format rifles; i.e. magazine fed, semi-automatic firearms , remind them that this ain't a new concept. Remington introduced this magazine fed, semi-auto rifle116 years ago.
Nice video. Thanks. I might be wrong but I believe the model 81 was a police model with a higher capacity detachable mag. Either way, sure would like to have either one. .35 Rem of course.
You are correct and they “the extended capacity” are hard to find. Given the time and era it was most likely an 8, but I sure wasn’t around back then to verify.
@@jeerrrrrrryyyyy I just watched a Forgotten Weapons on these rifles and according to Ian (and I ain't a gonna argue with that guy...lol) in 1934 it would have been a model 8. The 81 came a few years later and never sold very many. Most were bought by L.A. sheriff's department. Great show, though check it out. Also watched his podcast on the Monitor BAR. Used by Hamer in the movie "Highwaymen" I'm sure you'll enjoy them as well
Well that's good to hear Kepler. Technically The Texas Rangers are a division within the Texas Department of Public Safety. about 200 employees and the average age is 44. Not a bad career choice at all but is it a long road. Having good study habits and staying physically fit will be worth it's weight in gold. If you want my advice, Get up before the sun rises and train hard with weights and cardio. Before going to bed early read and study. Remember that due diligence and self control will win the race in the end. Focus on a goal and do not rest until it is obtained.
first time I ever saw a mod 8 it was on the used rack at Gunnies along w/ a Sav 99... didnt know what either were and kicked myself long after for not getting em before they were gone next day... the rear cover above the safety was machined so thin I thought it was a stamping but research at home informed me... yrs later ended up w/ a mod 81 and another sav 99 but I wont ever forget missing that first chance
@Caskas Thank you for watching Brother! Yes you can Wikipedia, and a few other websites as well. Many books too. Even colt forum has info on the colts he used.
Thanks , I do like that rifle . I’ve got a A5 and in a ruck that would be my first choice . Yes sir Frank Hamer was a man I would not like to have been wanted by 👍
The extended model 8 magazines were first made by a Texas gunsmith by welding two magazines together. These held 10 rounds. These were popular with the Texas Rangers. Once the idea caught on a company started making an extended magazine. From the photo of a rifle in the Texas Ranger Mueseum of a model 8 with a commercially made magazine, it appears to hold at least 15 rounds or possibly even 20.

Thank you for checking out the video. Ironically I own a reproduction single action army that I hope to do a review on at some point. I love the classic firearms.
What was the magazine capacity of the Remington rifle Hamer used to kill Bonnie and Clyde? What weapons were used by the other officers involved in the killing?
He most likely did, the issue is that I have never seen one for sale cheap enough to buy, and to install the large magazine you need to take apart the rifle to install it unfortunately.
Why was Frank A. Hamer carrying a .38 Super? Hamer knew that his opponents would like be wearing bullet-proof vests, and Frank knew his .45 couldn't penetrate a vest, but a Super .38 could cut a hole in the vest as neatly as a drill press. His rifle was also chosen for penetrating automobiles. Hamer didn't like automatic rifles but ballistics showed that Ted Hinton had fired 30 shots at Bonnie & Clyde's car during the Sowers ambush, with a Thompson submachine gun and 17 out of 30 his shots hadn’t penetrated the body of Clyde's Ford. Hamer's Remington 8 was meant to rip holes in a V8 Ford.
"Let's talk about Frank Hamer's favorite guns like the S&W .44 Triple Lock Hand Ejector; this of course isn't it, it's something else". LMFAO!!!!!!! WTF!?!?!? "Also, if you look at Wikipedia" :D
You can blame media if you want for the veneration of Bonnie and Clyde. I have a simpler reason why Bonnie and Clyde were thought of as "Robin Hood" types even if they clearly weren't. Why? Because fuck banks, that's why.
Yes, B&C were revered by the citizenry as heros. A desperate thing for desperate times. Also rumor has it. Capt Hamer only fired two shots at the onset on that engagement, on into Bonnie's hear, one I to Clyde's. Then sat down and lured a Camel

@@jeerrrrrrryyyyy Lol Jesus, I guess Ted was expecting a whole expose on Captain Frank Hamer. anyways I enjoyed it if he wants more info on Frank he can go to his local library and find a book I'm sure.
In my mind that is an odd comparison to make from every thing I have read. Frank Hamer was a law man, no law enforcement is going after blm/antifa in fact in most situations I have seen the law enforcement arrests the person being assaulted by those groups.
@@jeerrrrrrryyyyy i was only comparing how these criminals crimes are not paid attention to. And then the people if they are aware of them at all only regurgitate the msm narrative, and I do agree "law enforcement" is no longer that.

He certainly was. True salt of the earth.
Even if not 100% depiction, he would have approved I think
Hamer’s book is an excellent read too. He was quite a guy and not one to F with.
Awesome video.
Very well done and great commentary from a 30 year retired Alaska State Trooper.
This was great. The only time that I've ever seen that rifle anywhere is in Frank Hamer's hands, I was always curious about it, thanks.

Hamer used his career to destroy the KKK. His life was saved by a Black man and he never forgot it. Ironically, he lost a prisoner to a lynch mob and the only ranger to do so.
Shallow bit of history at best, the result of little time spent actually researching historical archives or databases.
Researching someones lifetime in detail takes just that.
@@jeerrrrrrryyyyy Lol Jesus, I guess Ted was expecting a whole expose on Captain Frank Hamer. anyways I enjoyed it if he wants more info on Frank he can go to his local library and find a book I'm sure.
@@billbill9392 Thank you for checking the video out. Yeah, you can’t make everyone happy.
Bonnie and Clyde were looked at like blm/antifa are looked at today!
In my mind that is an odd comparison to make from every thing I have read.
Frank Hamer was a law man, no law enforcement is going after blm/antifa in fact in most situations I have seen the law enforcement arrests the person being assaulted by those groups.
@@jeerrrrrrryyyyy i was only comparing how these criminals crimes are not paid attention to. And then the people if they are aware of them at all only regurgitate the msm narrative, and I do agree "law enforcement" is no longer that.
@@hdsporty79 Yeah I see what you mean.There are still good people on the force, but it’s getting thin unfortunately.
All this info is wrong.
Nope.
Tone down the hyperbole and stick to verifiable facts.
Some people say cucumbers taste better pickled.
