By R. A. "BOB" CROWDER<br />

Chief of the Texas Rangers<br />

I'm an incurable gun-nut, and<br />

it is hard for me to select one<br />

favorite from my collection in-<br />

cluding pistols, rifles, skeet guns,<br />

antique field pieces, and a 3 7<br />

Magnum used to kill three crooks<br />

and given to me by detectives<br />

Miles Coope~an and Sheldon<br />

Teller of the Chicago police de-<br />

partment. I am intrigued by the<br />

new developments in guns, and<br />

I can't wait for the fall hunting<br />

season to begin, to use my latest<br />

addition, a Winchester 88 rifle.<br />

To na ime my favorite gun<br />

, is easy: for 35 years, Colt's<br />

.45 automatic pistol is the<br />

only side arm I have used.<br />

It was the first pistol I ever<br />

shot. I used a Colt .45 auto<br />

for three years in the Marines,<br />

five years with the<br />

,<br />

1<br />

I<br />

Dallas ' police, seven years<br />

in the Texas Highway Pa-<br />

trol, and 20 years in the<br />

Texas Rangers. I like it<br />

because there are eight .<br />

shots instead of six. With<br />

modern ammunition, .45's<br />

have metal piercing ability.<br />

When I use a rifle, it is a<br />

30-06 Remington pump. I<br />

wear my engraved, silver-<br />

grip .45's loaded and<br />

cocked, with safeties on.<br />
