4.0 out of 5 stars Doubble Shotguns Most Dedicated Advocate --- tells all, November 30, 1997

By	George T ONeil, III (The "Quiet Corner" of Connecticut) - See all my reviews

McIntosh clearly has a wealth of experince and love of the subject that he writes on. His concise, incisive and comprehensive reviews are refreshing at a time when so many writers just "cover the material". This is a review of over 30 of the most frequently encountered side-by-side shotguns manufactured in the 20th century. I enjoyed reading the text for the following reasons: a) I am looking to buy a side-by-side and need objective comparative information -- this the text has. b) I enjoy learning about the sport of wing shooting and the text is full of history, technical and practical insights. c) The author is candid about his preferences ---- the right trigger pull etc and what his expectations are for each category of gun. I read the book in one sitting ------ it was worth the time. GTO

4.0 out of 5 stars Great! Typical Michael Mcintosh!, November 24, 2002

By	John Baker (Glendale, CA United States) - See all my reviews

If you are interested in "better to best" Double or Over and Under shotguns--Michael Mcintosh is your man to get you on the right street and pointed in the right direction. He is not your typical hack--he tell you what he likes and what he doesn't like--but he will admit that some of his dislikes may only apply to his individual shooting stype or artistic appreciation. He is unquestionably the most promenent current double gun critic--and in my opinion, the most creditable.

1.0 out of 5 stars take it for what its worth, July 24, 2005

By	S. chang "Sage Grouse" (Mountain Peak, CO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The commentary is based on author's bias opinion, the playwright obviously is not a gunsmith nor a metal / mechanical expert, a lot of fancy words and elegant phrase are used to portrayal the guns which he knew nothing about.....take it for what its worth.
