This is not a book, it's a pamphlet, and uses every high school student's tricks of word wandering to to fill up empty pages. The title has virtually nothing to do with the contents. 99% of the lists and illustrations are in your possession if you own a T/C and have the booklet that comes with it, or can be retrieved at no cost by requesting a shooters manual from T/C, or visiting the T/C web site.

The useful information in this pamphlet could be reproduced on one sheet of typing paper, double spaced. Make that triple spaced. What drivel. He talks about "timing" a single shot pistol by assuring that you pull the trigger guard all the way open every time. It's almost impossible NOT to!!

The author talks about his minimal experience as if it's the grandest thing on earth. His repetion of drivel to fill pages should have been embarassing to him. He's apparently beyond embarassment. A high school kid stretching a paper this far would get a D for a grade. This is a minimal D.

Definitly recommend against this piece of crap.

As stated this is worthless. It is not a book but a pamphlet. I skimmed it in a minute before concluding I was taken. I don't know what the author was trying to accomplish. You can learn more from a 5 minute internet search.

Good book on pistol no longer in production. Information is dated and may be outdated. Use other sources before accepting as "gospel."

I am very happy with the order even though it was shipped twice, and I was charged twice, but that is ok I gave a copy to a friend.

I fealt this book was very lacking,in info. It only talks about shooting for competing, not hunting or just for fun. No tips to help improve my type of shooting. No tips on how to work up loads to crate a good gun load combo. Only load data on a few select calibers. His faverit. Data you can get in any loading book. This book to me was a wast of money.
