Guns of the Texas Rangers 1824 to 1870

This is the first episode in a two-part series on the guns used by the Texas Rangers in the 19th century.

In this video I’ll discuss the guns used by the Rangers from 1824 until 1870.

In part two, I’ll discuss the guns used by the Rangers from 1870 until 1900.
