Product Description

It has been over a quarter of a century since the publication of A Study of the Colt Single Action Revolver, the classic, definitive guide to the Colt Single Action, the world's most famous and popular pistol. Now C. Kenneth Moore, one of the original authors, is back to fill in the gaps and set the record straight. Decades in the making, this impressive new study brings us entirely up to date, including all the new research that the author has painstakingly gathered over the years. Inside these covers, each page is just packed with useful information about the Single Action - nearly all from primary, archival sources and presented here for the very first time. The serial number data alone will astound you. Also included: * Automatic Ejector Models, * Special section on low serial numbers, * U.S. Army testing data, * New details about militia S.A.A.s, * A true wealth of cartridge info. This is the kind of detailed knowledge that Colt collectors demand, and no collector of Colt revolvers can afford to go without this valuable new resource.

5.0 out of 5 stars Written especially for serious Colt collectors and gun enthusiasts, February 6, 2006

By	Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

Over twenty-five years after the publication of the classic guide "A Study of the Colt Single Action Revolver", one of the original authors expands upon the original, and fills in its gaps with the knowledge from decades of research in Colt Single Action Army Revolver Study: New Discoveries. Entirely up to date, the Cold Single Action Army Revolver Study is filled cover to cover with information direct from primary and archival sources, much of which is presented for the first time, including serial number data. The text is written especially for serious Colt collectors and gun enthusiasts, and a handful of black-and-white photographs and diagrams round out this quality, in-depth collector's and researcher's guide.

This is a tiny little addendum to the $700.00 book - IT IS NOT THE REAL BOOK! DO NOT buy this unless you already have the $700.00 book. I got ripped off! It wasn't clear that this was not really an entire book.
