Frank Hamer's Model 8s

Post by DWalt »

For you NRA members (and if you're not one, you should be), the latest American Rifleman has a story on Frank Hamer. I think they got the story right about the assassination of Bonnie and Clyde in 1934 and his use of the Model 8.

Their story is Hamer fired one quick shot into each head, with his presentation Model 8 in .30 Rem, before all of the others opened fire.

Great article, I enjoyed it. I've come across another photograph from may 23rd, 1934 that I will use to update the "Frank Hamer's Rifle" page. Might even add a video. Thanks for the heads up DWalt!
