5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic source if information on defensive handgunning!, October 23, 1998

By	elmomiller@aol.com (Richmond, VA) - See all my reviews

Published in 1974 by Peterson Publications, 256 pages, paperback sold on newstands. Chapter were: Calibers, Cartridges & Power; Actions, Stocks & Finishes; Accuracy, Sights & Sighting; Gunhandling, Care & Maintenance; Holsters; Training, Practice & Target Shooting; Practical Pistol Competition; Color Changes; Hunting; Revolvers; Autos; Derringers; Black Powder; Manufacturers/Guns, Variants; Service Autos; Epilogue; Handgun Catalog; Directory. Updated in 1979 as Jeff Cooper on Handguns but with only 96 pages. Even though published over 20 years ago, all of the information in this work is still very applicable. His preferred handgun is a lightly modified the Colt 1911A1, .45ACP. Col. Cooper's other handgun titles were; Fighting Handguns 1958; Handguns Afield 1961; The Complete Book of Modern Handgunning 1961 and The Complete Book of Shooting 1965 (pages 239-368). All of these titles are required reading for all serious pistoleers! Other early Cooper works include; Sports Cars Annual 1957, Custom Rifles 1957 and Guns of the Old West (no date but, around 1958). All except The Complete Book of Modern Handgunning & The Complete Book of Shooting were paperback and are very hard to find, they just have not survived. It took me five years to get copies of all of them and then I had them hardbound. Jeff Cooper on Handguns 1979 was his last book on handgunning. He did serve as editorial adviser to Greg Morrison's The Modern Technique of the Pistol 1991. Col. Cooper's books on defensive pistolcraft are the standard by which all others are judged, his nickname is the "Guru."
