several years ago I was reading an old gun magazine

and there was a story about the Texas Rangers. They had a picture of an old Ranger and his revolver was predominately shown. At first I thought it was a #5 but the pic was supposedly from around 1915, way too early for a #5. I remembered reading somewhere that the Rangers had big hands and some had grip extensions added to their gripframes, so I am assuming that was what it was.

The gun was nickel'd (maybe chromed) and looked to be engraved. It had bone grips on it, probably steer bone. You could tell the old gentleman had been carrying the gun for a lot of miles. For some reason that picture stuck in my mind. Recently I tried to find that story and picture but no success. But I remembered enough about it to try and duplicate it..

We are working on a new all stainless high polished #5 in 45 Long Colt. Being I was stuck at home , just me and the pups and that bug I picked up somewhere, I told Colleen to bring the gun home for me. It was finished mechanically but needed the final engraving. So to honor that old gentleman and all the Texas Rangers everywhere I decided to do something I had never done before and make that #5 a Texas Ranger Classic. The gun has a 6" octagonal barrel, unfluted cylinder, chambered in 45 Long Colt. It has the #5 gripframe and a set of Mongolian Stag grips. It has had the Positive Performance Package done to it and is super smooth and accurate. It is full engraved end to end. I have Nate doing the final polishing and action job on it and hope to have it on here for you sometime today.
