* CombatPragmatist: In a fight, Raylan can be downright ruthless. He has no problem shooting a man at point blank range or in the back as they are running away, and will take any advantage in a scirmish that he can. His only criteria is that he makes sure that any shooting he does is justified in the eyes of the law.

* EvilWearsBlack: As Boyd starts heading down the road of a full fledged "Outlaw" in season 2, his wardrobe shifts to be primarily all black. This also has the effect of making him look akin to a preacher, a role he performed during parts of season 1 [[spoiler:and one he steps back into after he is incarcerated for life in the final episode.]]

Added DiffLines:
* InformedAbility: Played with. Raylan is regarded as a skilled gunslinger and an excellent shot, but in the series itself we don't see him pulling off too many tricky or difficult shots. Rather, his gunslinger skills come down to him being a quick and decisive draw.
* IWarnedYou: A common tactic by Raylan. He makes it very clear to those he goes up again just what they're in for and what he's prepared to do. The downfall of many of his opponents come from thinking Raylan is merely bluffing at how ruthless he is willing to be.
