5.0 out of 5 stars
Get this for python disassembly.,
By D.R.E. (palo alto, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Gun Digest Book of Firearms Assembly/Disassembly Part II - Revolvers (Gun Digest Book of Firearms Assembly/Disassembly: Part 2 Revolvers) (Pt. II) (Paperback)
This book is fantastic. It already saved me hundreds of dollars and much time. For example: The sideplate on my python came loose while shooting, the pawl got dislocated, and everything locked up. This was a sad day. Fortunately, this book had arrived in the afternoon. I was able to use it to completely strip all parts from the python, fix it, completely clean the action and reassemble, despite the common wisdom that the python's "swiss watch" action makes it impossible for mortals to touch and not destroy.I've bought a lot of books I liked on amazon, this is the first that was so helpful I felt like I had to write a review. There were a couple of things I'd like to see improved: (1) clearer pictures, (2) the book skipped one step that you had to interpolate by staring at pictures (in which details were hard to see), and (3) the author's bio is disconcertingly egomaniacal. A more detailed, excellent book I'd also highly recommend: THE COLT DOUBLE ACTION REVOLVERS: A SHOP MANUAL, VOL. I. by Kuhnhausen, Jerry.

This review is from: The Gun Digest Book of Firearms Assembly/Disassembly Part II - Revolvers (Gun Digest Book of Firearms Assembly/Disassembly: Part 2 Revolvers) (Pt. II) (Paperback)
Although this book is a bit dated it covers all the major brands of "Wheelguns" in detail. Smith, Colt, Ruger, Taurus etc. Enough info. for the mechanically inclined to do complete teardowns. Money well spent.
