Smith & Wesson Texas Rangers Commemorative Revolver

Smith & Wesson is unveiling a new N-frame revolver commemorating the 200th anniversary of the establishment of the legendary Lone Star State law enforcement group, the Texas Rangers.

Being keen on staying well-armed and highly trained, Texas Rangers have historically relayed on carrying the best guns they could, and during the early 20th century, this included Smith & Wesson double-action revolvers, Colt 1911 pistols, Winchester 1895 lever action rifles and Remington Model 11 semi-automatic shotguns. If you wanted to see how a serious shooter armed himself prior to the era of modern optics, wonder nines and AR-15s, look no further than the typical Texas Ranger.

“The Texas Rangers, unofficially formed in 1823, have been synonymous with bravery and tenacity in law enforcement.  Captain McDonald, a true Ranger, exemplified the spirit of the force by singlehandedly breaking up a prizefight, quipping, "There’s just one prizefight, isn’t there?"

This limited-edition N-frame revolver captures the essence of those fearless days. It features the famous Ranger saying engraved on the backstrap, reminding us of the Rangers’ unwavering commitment to justice. With a design reminiscent of the duty pistols carried by the Texas Rangers post-World War II, this revolver is a tribute to their enduring legacy.

Own a piece of history and embrace the spirit of the Texas Rangers with this 200th Anniversary Edition Smith & Wesson N-Frame revolver. It’s not just a firearm; it’s a symbol of courage and honor that lives on in every Ranger’s heart.

This special edition Smith & Wesson N-frame is chambered for the .357 Mag. cartridge and is outfitted in the old-school, pre-war style that includes a half moon front sight blade and a fixed rear sight that is carved into the revolver’s top strap.
