Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1935, Textbook of Pistols and Revolvers is a treatise on handguns of the early twentieth century. Written by Major Julian S. Hatcher, an expert on the subject of firearms of all sorts, readers will gain invaluable insight into everything to do with handheld firearms of the 1930s. In his introduction, Hatcher emphasizes that he has made an earnest effort to make this book accessible for both novices and experts. Novices who know nothing whatsoever about firearms and their use can easily learn from this book, while experts will find a technical reference book where “the results of many experiments with pistols and revolvers and their ammunition are tabulated in convenient form.” Covering such subjects as the different methods of shooting and using hand firearms; their mechanism, care and repair; their interior and exterior ballistics; the peculiar suitability of the different kinds for various purposes; the relative effectiveness or stopping power of the various calibers and types of gun and ammunition; and many more, this book is an immense store of knowledge on early handguns.

Download or read book Modern American Pistols and Revolvers written by Arthur Corbin Gould and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern American Pistols and Revolvers: An Account of the Development of Pistols and Revolvers in America The first edition of Modern American Pistols and Revolvers was published in 1888. At that time there was but little general knowledge of the capabilities of the pistol or the revolver. A general impression pre vailed that there was little or no accuracy in the arms, or if they were accurate, those manipulating them skill fully were specially gifted. The publication of the first edition showed the great accuracy and reliability of certain arms, and made it apparent that to become skillful in manipulating them-was only a matter of practice. This stimulated many devotees of shooting to attempt to acquire a proficiency. As a result, at the time of writing there are expert pistol and revolver shots in various sections of the country; and as the shooting world has no national confines, this statement may be applied to many parts of the world.

Book excerpt: L'histoire des armes de poing est un fascinant voyage à travers le temps et le développement technologique des armes à feu - des premières, à mèche, à muet ou à silex, jusqu'aux dernières nouveautés automatiques à la pointe de l'innovation. PISTOLETS ET REVOLVERS est un véritable guide du collectionneur, mais aussi du simple amateur qui découvrira, à travers ces lignes pleines d'informations, la genèse et l'essor de l'industrie des armes légères qui ont participé à l'histoire du monde. Riche de plus de 184 illustrations corrélées à des armes en particulier - chacune bénéficiant d'une fiche signalétique détaillant ses spécificités - l'ouvrage traite des armes les plus célèbres comme des moins connues jusqu'à celles parfois oubliées. Saviez-vous, par exemple, qu'à la fin du 19e siècle, le revolver "vélo-dog" avait été nommé ainsi en référence aux premiers cyclistes confrontés à des attaques de chien ? De la Guerre civile anglaise à la Deuxième Guerre mondiale jusqu'aux conflits d'aujourd'hui, en passant par le Far-Ouest, la période de la prohibition ou le cinéma personnalisé notamment par l'inspecteur Harry, le livre montre comment la technologie a bouleversé l'armement et comment l'armement a transformé la façon de combattre. En incluant à la fois des armes légères employées par les forces de police et les forces militaires, avec 70 photos en couleur et noir et blanc pour les représenter, PISTOLETS ET REVOLVERS, dresse un inventaire complet et accessible de la saga des armes légères.
