Book for S&W revolver fans

[UncleEd]

Recommending "Best of Smith & Wesson 2010--2019" from publishers
of American Handgunner and Guns. It is a collection of articles from
those publications. Perhaps 15 percent is devoted to autos, the rest
to the wheelguns.

It covers older S&W revolvers as well the latest offerings. I think it's
great to get so much info packed into one 350-page package with
numerous illustrations, many in color. A lot of articles have to do
with calibers that go with the guns, vintage and newest iterations.

I think a lot of questions that are often asked in threads here have
answers in the book. It's easy to peruse with 98 titled chapers.

Yes, it's the opinions of those magazines writers and some may
accuse them as being no more than S&W fanboys. The book
is available on Amazon.

Thanks. Appreciate it.

Thanks for the referral, sounds interesting.

And (I hope you don't mind my adding this to your thread) in the latest issue of DILLON's Blue Press there is a very nice, albeit short, article on S&W's historian, Roy Jinks. Some interesting backstory and some lovely gun porn. Apologies if this has already been mentioned.

Sounds interesting but the "Standard Catalog of S&W" firearms does a pretty good job detailing anything S&W.

Worth looking into though.

Sounds interesting but the "Standard Catalog of S&W" firearms does a pretty good job detailing anything S&W.

No doubt about that. But the Handgunner book offers for novice, and maybe hardened S&W
user/collector, easy to read reviews not as easily taken from the "Catalog." For instance one of the
articles in the book on K-frames could help a reader delve better for info in the "Catalog."
