FROM THE DUST JACKET FRONT FLAP: Collectors, shooters, law-enforcers, the military, and gun-fixers and users everywhere will applaud this new, expanded, classic analysis of pistols and revolvers from 26 countries. Larger by 64 pages and using 201 new Illustrations, this new edition outclasses even its own previous appearances. All the important features are retained-easy steps to identification, operation, history, and manufacture-and are made even more useful by a complete rearrangement of Part II, now titled Pistol and Revolver Trends-1945-1968. Divided into two sections - Handguns by Country and Post World War II Pistol and Revolver Ammunition this all new material includes for the first time the most significant of the military or official government handguns, and then describes the most prominent pistols and revolvers being manufactured in each country for the commercial and target shooting market. Some notable `first` examples are the unusual .22 target pistols used by the Russians in international shooting events, and a Viet Cong `assassin`s pistol` of interesting Chinese manufacture and design. In the up-dated first part, a book in itself, the evolution of the one-hand gun, a summary of pistol and revolver types, and a thoroughly detailed examination of handguns manufactured prior to 1945 is handily organized showing guns by caliber. Numerous typical models are shown in unique three-dimensional cut-away drawings that make inside design and operating parts come through clearly. Selle
