I'm new to the world of handguns, and I was hoping to get a book or two to help me out. Any suggestions?
The things I'm looking for are:
Fundamentals. Right now I don't know an Isosceles stance from a Weaver stance. Before any book gets into a comparison, it might be nice to see a picture or two with an explanation. Same goes fortrigger control, grip, etc..
Generality. While my interest is leaning more towards revolvers right now, I'd like the info to transfer between guns easily. I've heard complaints (and seen it myself) about many firearms writers' personal preference getting in the way of objective thinking. If I want to hear why the 1911 is better than any Glock, well, I've got the internet for that.
I'd like this book(s) to cover a lot, and well. Maybe I'm asking too much, but my intent is to not learn any bad habits that will be hard to break later on.
I already have The Pistol Shooter's Treasury, it's a good book, that really covers sight picture and trigger control, but leans heavily towards info for the competative target shooter.
