Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. 1st Edition. 59 pages. Hardcover with a dust jacket. The stock market crash of "Black Monday" in October, 1929 heralded the beginning of the worst depression in American history. At the same time, the sport of one-handed target shooting was very popular. In January 1932, amidst the darkest days of depression and general economic decline, the Colt's Patent Firearms Manufacturing Company introduced their hand-fitted, premium-grade National Match Government Model pistol. These fine arms were eminently suitable for match shooting, but they carried a sticker price of $40 in the days when a brand-new commercial Government Model retailed for about $22. Not surprisingly, the prewar National Match model was originally produced in small numbers, and was in fact only briefly produced. Surprisingly, the prewar National Match .45 Government model may be rarer, in terms of the numbers porduced, than the ultra-rare Colt .44 Walker of which only 1,000 military and 100 civilian examples were ever made. Nevertheless, no finer semi-automatic handgun than the prewar Colt National Match ever left the factory, and anyone who owns one of these Amerian Beauties holds a national treasure in his hand. An absolutely beautiful Very Fine As New copy of a Very Scarce title at a reasonable price that really couldn't be better. An opportunity to own a book that has been out of print for quite some some. The publisher is out of business.…

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. 1st Edition. 511 pages. Almost 600 illustrations, many in color. Hardcover with a dust jacket. Huge volume. This is a well-informed discourse by a professional self-defense expert covering all aspects of the famous k-frame revolver, the tried-and-true cornerstone product of the prestigious armsmaking firm Smith & Wesson, Inc. of Springfield, Massachusetts. From its antecedent .32 caliber Hand Ejector model, introduced in 1896, through well over a century of production, the S&W K-Frame, revolver has long been the most perennially popular sidearm in the company's catalog, with production totals in excess of all other S&W models combined. K-Frame S&Ws have proven to be exceptionally versatile throughout this unprecedentedly long period. Fixed-sight M&P versions have provided much peace of mind to those who carried them as duty guns or who kept one handy for home protection, while the adjustably-sighted target models have performed with great reliability and precision in matches fired by a vast number of target shooters> both types have proven themselves over time to be dependable companions in wild and dangerous places. It is most interesting to consider, as we do in this book, how safety features on Smith & Wesson revolvers have been a recurring theme over the years. Obviously right from the beginning everyone connected withe newly-developed Hand Ejectors was familiar with the danger of a weapon firing when dropped if a cartride was under the firing pin. We have documented the repeated efforts by Smith & Wesson to ensure that their revolvers were free from this hazard, with the most recent modification being added in 1944 in responnse to the incident of a sailor who was fatally shot by his dropped Victory Model during WWII. A sequesl to Volume I, Magnum - The S&W Phenominon. The page and figure numbering in this book continnues on from wher Volume I left off, and a comprehensive Index to both volumes appears in the back of this book. An outstanding reference. Excellent. Out of print and scarce. A Very Fine As New copy at a reasonable price. …

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. The Colt New Service revolver was manufactured from 1898 through 1943 in a number of commercial and military models, with standard and Target versions offered in the civilian models. Over 356,000 were made, in a total of eleven standard chamberings. Experimental models were also made up in .22 rimfire, .22 Hornet, and .41 Special. Examples of all these models and chamberings are depicted and discussed. In addition to the standard versions of each model, which were available in blue or nickel finish with 4-1/2', 5-1/2' or 7-1/2' barrels (7-1/2' standard on the Target Models), a variety of special-order features were available. These included special finishes (gold and/or silver plating); various grades of factory engraving; and grips of ivory, mother-of-pearl or stag, either plain, checkered, or carved, usually with steer head or eagle motifs. The 165 distinct model/versions depicted include some really rare and interesting New Services, beginning with serial nos. 0 and 1, plus the very first Target Old Model and numerous other factory special orders with custom features, including specially-marked versions as used by the U.S. Border Patrol and various police agencies. In addition to a brief historical introduction and individual chapters on each of the models, including the top-of-the-line Shooting Master and the radically bobbed 'Fitz Specials', plus chapters on Famous Users and Aftermarket Modifications, the author presents expert commentaries and reasoned analyses throughout on the value and usefulness of the New Service in the field and as a personal defense weapon, plus frank critiques and comparisons with contemporary Smith & Wesson products.
