I was always a fan of the same sidearm Frank Hamer carried, a Colt 1911 Government model in .38 Super...If only I had been able to keep a few of the ones that crossed my path...The Remington Model 8 in .25 Remington was said to be his favorite go-to rifle, but I see why he chose the BAR on that particular day...He also didn't believe in giving a dangerous armed criminal like Barrow or his ilk the chance for a first shot...His preference was to open fire from ambush in those cases...That's why he outlived so many men he was sent to fetch......Ben
