Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson: Book Review

By Richard on August 10, 2012 No Comments

Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson

The Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson is easily the best reference for S&W guns I have ever purchased.  In fact, it may be the best reference book I have ever purchased since escaping some pretty advanced science courses back in college.

In its third edition, the Standard Catalog describes and values nearly 800 different Smith & Wesson guns.  Each firearm has a separate entry with as much production and collector information as the authors have been able to locate.

Black Man With A Gun

By Richard on March 26, 2012 No Comments

Black Man with a Gun is a book on gun rights, the racist roots of gun control and the use of firearms to promote liberty.  My friend, Kenn Blanchard, wrote this book prior to building his massively popular Urban Shooter podcast.

Glock – Book Review Coming

By Richard on February 16, 2012 1 Comments

Glock Book ReviewThe new “tell all” book on Glock, called “Glock”, has gotten a lot of press recently, and I have wanted to read it.  As it happens, the publisher sent me a review copy of the book, which I have already started reading.

It is not a boring book…

I’m sure some of you have read other reviews on the book already, but I have not.  I purposefully avoided reviews so I could form my own opinions as I read it.  I already have a few interesting observations, which I will share with you very soon.

For those that want their own copy of the book, Amazon has them in stock for about $17.

Combat Shooting with Massad Ayoob

By Richard on December 5, 2011 1 Comments

Combat Shooting with Massad AyoobSomehow it slipped by me, but a new book called Combat Shooting with Massad Ayoob is now selling on Amazon.  The book runs almost 200 pages and covers a variety of topics including mindset, using competition as training and examining the techniques of Jim Cirillo, Charles Askins and Wyatt Earp.

Amazon is selling the book for only $15.50.  Based on Ayoob’s prior work, I’d say the book will be worth every penny. My order has already been placed.

No Second Place Winners: Found Good Deal

By Richard on February 23, 2010 No Comments

nosecondplacewinnersWhile scanning Amazon.com tonight, I discovered someone is selling Bill Jordan’s classic book “No Second Place Winners” for only $12.45…and that’s for a new condition copy.  I don’t know how many they have, but I picked one up for myself.
