Summary: Some Mainstream Guns Missing
Review: Overall I feel this is a good buy as I have identified several older model weapons without much trouble. However, trying to find more recent model guns has been dismal. For example try to find any of the new Sig Sauer pistols or any of the new Derringers! Anyway, I have identified a couple of H&R pistols (pretty neat trick, good black and white photos helped tremendously) and a couple of rifles (one a Winchester rifle and you know how many flavors of those exist!) again by picture then description. I like how the book is broken into three sections (pistol, rifle, shotgun). The pistol part is broken into semi-auto then revolver for each company presented. I would have liked to have a more comprehensive breakout of new weapons (as I mentioned before) and more information on the various companies (some had nothing but an address...if that), but all in all a must have books for my library. A good buy.

Summary: Not always accurate.
Review: Several of the pictures do not match the firearm listed. Incomplete discriptions, it apparently wasn't proof-read.

Summary: Great Pictures
Review: This is the book for you! It has great pictures of each model. I have used it to help identify firearms and it comes in handy for grading firearms.
