Robert Hertzberg "tells the entire story of the handgun from the beginning -- about types of guns, about the single- and double-action, about cap-and-ball revolvers; and of course, the fabulous .45. There are chapters on special and foreign handguns, reloading your own ammo, and gun safety. This ocncise handbook is great for the practicing pistoleer, the collector and historian. Well-written, instructional and profusely illustrated, this is a book no gun enthusiast, no neophyte or "old pro" will want to pass over." --Jacket copy.
