Hondo and His Guns Through Three Generations of SWAT
SWAT is an interesting television show and it was the first police show to ever focus on the Special Weapons and Tactics teams pioneered by the LAPD. The leader of the unit Dan 'Hondo' Harrelson, helped inspire not only the use of modern weapons by police but helped create the entire 1980s tactical look. What's always captured me about these film SWAT officers is that they've also done a great job of representing the gear and tactics of that era. The guns, accessories, and gear all match the era from the 1970s origins to the 2003 early GWOT to the current crop of high-speed rifles, optics, and gadgets. Today, we are going to examine the weapons of Hondo and see how they reflect the era they originated in.

The Mauser HSc Super: A Bizarre Carry Gun
In 2023 the Mauser HSc Super really has no purpose. In the 80s, it didn't either. But, it's a neat and awkward part of handgun history, and sometimes that's enough.
