1.0 out of 5 stars Gun Digest 2002 Nonsense, December 31, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Gun Digest: The World's Greatest Gun Book (Paperback)

The current edition of Gun Digest continues with the same old listings of firearms in the back pages as well as the same pictures. It's a copy of the previous Gun Digest with some minor updates in the catelog pages of firearms and ammunition ballistics, as well as accessories. It's not worth buying if you have last years gun digest. There are perhaps two or three interesting articles but a lot of them are out in left field, wierd, or of the who cares variety. I got swindled even at Amazons cut rate price. Last time I buy one of these "blivets" without a personal perusal.

This truly is the world's greatest gun book. If you collect guns or are just thinking of getting one for protection don't even think of going gun shopping before you have purchased this book. It truly has a wealth of information on anything and everything gun related.
