EARLY & MODERN FIREARMS CO•• INC. 12418 Ventura Blvd., Dept. 0, Studio City, California GUNS MAY 1959 3 By D. L. COOPER Texas Dept. Public Safety HE .357 Combat Mag lIum is my favorite for all-aroundT use. It won me top award in a fast draw with a robot. The Ojala rig is my favorite for a fast draw with it or a S.A. Colt. The Combat and K-38 won me many awards in local, state, national and international competi tion, plus the grand prize for four years in the Texas Rattlesnake Rodeo. A .44 Magnum S. A. Ruger is lIsed to illustrate maximum handgun power. My handloads have been used in some 400 demonstra tions. A recent shooting show in Fort Worth with over 9,000 spectators was televised. Jugular bullets are lIsed for my hobby of long range varmint hunting, and wadcuuers for short range targets and "trick" shooting. Handloaded rifles in .244 and .222 are my favorite long guns, with 12 gao shotguns. A .270 is used in law enforcement work and for larger game. I'd like to fill another room with awards, but the Department is so busy there isn't much time for competitive shooting. Duty must come first. Demonstrations are done without pay, many on my own time. I hope to encourage gun and traffic safety, better understanding of firearms, and especially a public pro·gun feeling. Anti-gun laws are not good. Shooling is a wholesome sport.
