Summary: Only if you still don't want a Glock
Review: Admittedly, the book by Boatman was filled with more details about Glocks than anywhere else. Never have I seen any single source of information about Glocks that could beat this book. The photographs inside are very clear, somewhat detailed and well made. However, I feel there are certain stories that do not seem related to the topic and should have been kept out of the book or at least kept as short as possible. A more in-depth review of our Glock pistols aside from the 36, 18 or 20 would have been appreciated and welcomed. The book tends to be too opinionated and biased that it has a brainwashing effect on the reader. It discourages the reader from buying Glocks that the author does not like. Not a great buy for me but a good buy nonetheless.

Summary: Excellent book on concealed carry of Glocks
Review: I'm a little confused by the few low ratings that this book has received. It appears to me that those people did not bother to read beyond the first chapter. I found this book to be very informative on the different Glock models, carry options and accessories. The final chapter on the Second Amendment and the responsibilities for concealed carry are definitely worth reading at a minimum. But I highly recommend reading the entire text. I would recommend this book for anyone that is shopping for a Glock.

Summary: This book isn't really about Glocks
Review: It's about a self-absorbed, ignorant, and rude soap-box stand by a half-wit author who knows very little about Glocks, and even less about being a professional. (This is not speculation, it's proven in his book). This book was full of comments like, "They deserve it", referring to people getting shot that carry high-capacity Glocks that the author doesn't like. This guy not only should not have embarrassed the proud and honorable firearms community by writing this book, he should not be allowed to carry (or even own) a firearm because of his attitude about "shooting people". Highly inappropriate for a supposed "reference book". If you want a book with very one-sided political views that's written by a big-talker that doesn't substantiate what he's ranting about, then buy this book. If you want to learn a lot about Glocks as I did when I made the purchase, this is not the book for you. This author is dangerous because he is intelligent enough to write, but too foolish to temper his attitude, and WAY to heavy on unsubstantiated political rants.

Summary: Too much politics...
Review: Not the best book about Glock handguns. Constant babble about politics will date this book quickly, the authors narrow-minded opinions make it a painful read.

Summary: Living With Glocks
Review: Only a weak-kneed Frenchman would diss a book this good. With vanishing freedoms and growing threats at home and internationally, Boatman's book is more pertinent now than ever. Boatman's book is a well-written, funny, and informative tale about owning a gun and taking responsibility for your own safety and freedom. My copy has a reserved place on the coffee table, where gun enthusiasts, Glock affionados and left-wing literary critics alike can enjoy its superlative style, sound philosophy, and informative content.

Summary: I hope his shooting ability is higher than his IQ
Review: Robert Boatman does an amazing job detailing and describing the different types and models of Glock hand guns. He also makes a point to write about what each one is best suited for (I found this part about each review to be exceptional). I was VERY new to the world of firearms and this book was truly a blessing; it answered every question I thought of and even ones that I should have thought about! His vast experience with firearms is something not to take lightly and should be respected. If one even thinks about purchasing a firearm to protect themselves as well as their loved ones, Robert Boatman makes some very valid and logical points that one must accept. Other readers have stated that they thought he was too opinionated on certain models and/or biased, I found this to be a good thing and decided to purchase a G36. He describes this model as exquisite defense and I have to say, it truly is. I couldn't be happier with my new little friend. If you're interested in GLOCKS or you're a newbie like I was, this is the book for you....highly recommended.

Summary: Should be called "My Favorite Glocks"
Review: The author definitely has his favorite Glock pistols and many of the others are just barely mentioned or given the "stay away from this one" treatment. He had his opportunity to redeem himself in the great watermelon shoot, where he and some colleagues took the guns out to the range and test fired them using different types of ammo and measuring the results with a chronograph . It appears that he only took four Glocks and one 1911 Colt along for the shoot however. Those were the Glocks in the calibers that he raves about.
The author also lists his web site but it is nothing more than a porn site now.
I did feel that his coverage of concealed carry and Glock accesories were pretty helpful although I can't see why an ordinary citizen would need to carry more that one concealed firearm.
It's an ok read but if your in the market for a new Glock I would recommend that you dont use this as your only research tool.

Summary: A very ordinary effort indeed!
Review: This is one of the greatest wastes of printers ink that I have had the misfortune to read in some time. Regrettably, the content is fractured, the writing style poor and the level of information, average at best. If you want a trip through the authors tortured ramblings on politics with some side commentary on Glocks, buy it. Otherwise, don't waste your time. It's a fine example of a little knowledge being a dangerous thing. Buy Kaswers book, it may be slightly dated (ie new models have appeared since the time of writing), but at least you'll learn about Glocks.
