Check out Six years with the Texas Rangers by James B Gillette He served from 1875-1881 if i recall Its a wealth of knowledge on various subjects regarding texas history and the rengers in general The Taylor-Sutton feud, indian raids, John Wesley Hardin, and many more Its fascinating for history and firearms buffs alike I've listened to the audiobook several times, and can't get enough of it

Im a little late to the game, but all the guns you mention made in the State of Connecticut Colt & Sharps in Hartford, Winchester in New Haven

Ben McCulloch was killed in1862 at the battle of Pea Ridge
Comment from : @larskunoandersen5750

Cowboy Mounted Shooters Association members use almost exclusively 1873 clones, because of the more positive action of the cartridge lifter over other models The '92 is about 2lbs lighter, but the horse doesn't care and the rider doesn't have to see a loaded round fly out of his carbine

US Federal Infantry against mounted Comanche cavalry What could go wrong?
Comment from : @JimPack-jy3rr

Interesting … you said in 1874 … 12, breechloading, cartridge shotguns brAm I to assume these were pin-fire shotguns?brThe earliest references to centerfire, cartridge shotguns I have found are the Colt 1878 br…brand the Greener was still a pin-fire in 1864 with improvements in 1869, and no “modern” references until 1876?brbrThe reason I ask is that there is a definite gap in establishing the double barrel SxS center fire shotgun in an historic timeline (and SASS knows this as they always beg out to the 1880s)brbrTBH, my personal, a Civil War vet going west after the war would have to be armed with:br- a Henry, Spenser, or Improved Henrybr- 2 C&B revolversbr- a percussion shotgunbrbrNot being cute, I really WANT to know brThank Mike

Comment from : @davidstuck2866

I really enjoyed this series Thank you for the presentation!
Comment from : @YakubibnEsau

Yet again another great video
Comment from : @stevenpfotzer112

That is really fascinating, that early rangers had to pay for their own guns I wonder if this was because many of them also used them at home for personal use, and not many rangers bought their own personal guns for economic or other reasons? Or maybe it was something totally unrelated brbrIt would be interesting to study in general how many civilians owned the guns discussed in this video for personal use in the late 1800s and early 1900s

In my loading book the 44-40 is 50 FPS faster than a 45 Colt with a 200 GR bullet

The Texas Ranger Museum in Waco, TX, is great Lots of Pics, Badges, and GUNS
Comment from : @bassmangotdbluz3547

17:00 A much better option would have been Remington Rolling Blocks
Comment from : @The_Conspiracy_Analyst

Thanks for making these videos
Comment from : @wademitchell7378

You forgot the most iconic 1895 cal 405
Comment from : @ronjensen3514

Terrific Video I agree completely with hickock45, but as good as he shoots, I'd never argue with him in public :)
Comment from : @dwightcurrie8316

I truly wish I knew this history info
Comment from : @reinaldogarcia70

you cant really blame the indians for what they did since we stole their land and pretty much did the same stuff they did back if not worse
Comment from : @zwitie3455

i'll take the 1866 Winchester over the Sharps in a close range Indian fight any day i do like McNelly's response about that though lol i wouldnt have any use for men that miss either they should be in a different profession if they cant shoot! I would have taken a S&W over the Colt too it's much quicker to reload
Comment from : @Trumplican

Thank You for your two part series on Guns of the Texas Rangers I had read the Miller's book, Texas Ranger John B Jones, prior to watching your videos and enjoyed hearing you elaborate on the several incidents that Rangers were involved in Wish you had made mention of Captain Neal Coldwell in the process Some of the cites of incidents of Rangers fighting Indians are marked with Texas Historical Markers & Roadside Markers and can be located in books covering them, as another resource for future research Keep producing your enjoyable videos

Comment from : @craigoldsen1667

Hold on a sec !!! I use my 45 colt pistol ammo in my 45 colt rifle all the time what you mean it jams? 45 colt is 45 colt isn't it ??? Scratch that I mean 45 long colt is 45 long colt isn it why would I jam ? I'm shooting them out of a pair of uberti s and clone of 1892 I think it's a 1892 I dunno it's called a r92 great series though thank you !!!! Loved it

Comment from : @jean-paulmorin913

I like your videos you are thorough and you present and explain things well but you shouldn't fry bacon before you make a video
Comment from : @wsbill14224

Perhaps of some interest to those who admire the Texas Rangers, is a fact many are unaware of , that from their beginning in 1821 thru to the War for Southern Independence, there was no official (nor unofficial) badge for Texas Rangers Evidently they each were given signed papers proclaiming them as Texas Rangers, but they had no badges They were disbanded during the war years as nearly ALL joined Confederate Cavalry units After the war ,from 1865 to 1874 they were not re-instated, as a hated Carpet-bagger governor established the hated , over-bearing Texas State Police But in 1874 Texas was able to rid itself of the carpet-bagger governor and his hated State Police, and finally the Texas Rangers were reinstated It was at this time that official Ranger Badges were issued
Comment from : @brucemorrison2132

Well done Man

If I met a Texas ranger who didn't lap water from a muddy hoof print I'd buy him a 2$ cigar
Comment from : @bobborlog1677

Great video and well explained really liked it can't wait to see more from you from the Scottish Highlands
Comment from : @rodneywilson6363

Another great video Very informative and well presented My favorite pairing is a Marlin 1894 and a Ruger Blackhawk, both in 357 mag It just makes sense to me to have both chambered the same!brThanks again for the video!
Comment from : @tonyadams6375

Yea, I'll do a 50-70 Gov Sharps for hunting and home defense! Nice compact, wieldy carbine a little short on firepower but no shortage of horsepower! And I'll always have the two handy navy side irons in the belt
Comment from : @steelgila

Both posts were very informative Thanks for the work👍🏻
Comment from : @peterstaehlin

I didn't like history while in school, but have learned to appreciate it more and more as time marches onward Thanks for part two

My mom’s maiden name is Saunders and we had a family member (Saunders) that was a Texas Ranger Not sure if it was her Grandfather or Great Grandfather
Comment from : @williamobrien6418

I am new to your channel and love your history lessons as well brI’m sure there are many of us who would like to see a history of one of the greatest pistols ever made “the 1911”brThank you for all your content brRGW in NC
Comment from : @richardwoolard9804

You missed the 1886 Winchester!
Comment from : @chrisshields9716

I've seen pictures of pre 1900 Texas Rangers holding C96 Mauser pistols
Comment from : @cameronmccreary4758

Gillette issued a sharps when he joined 45 70
Comment from : @larry1824

The 44-40 and 45 Colt were the 19th century equivalent of the modern 556mm NATO and 9mm Luger, the set standards for contemporary fighting men
Comment from : @thitsugaya1224

I understand the stand off power of something like the trap door rifle with the 45-70 cartridge, I use to have a Marlin guide gun in 45-70 and I had no problems hitting a 4'X4' piece of plywood at 325 yards, but during a closer engagement I think I would prefer a repeating rifle
Comment from : @Agwings1960

Would have loved to finish the video but really hate when there's commercials jammed in the middle of the video That's very annoying If you want to monetize your videos and put commercials in them either put them at the beginning or at the end but not in the middle of the damn video
Comment from : @db4075

6:58 That didn't sound right LOL
Comment from : @The_Conspiracy_Analyst

Smashing, I just loved your informative comments, which were a lesson to me about Texas Rangers's History and showing both episodes with your pictures, photos and shooting videos (I have a lever action Winchester gun, 3030, that I use for hunting wild boars at day light )
