 A good general purpose book on owning a handgun March 21, 2008
Like most books on the firearms, this one spends a lot of time on self-defense issues. I wasn't particularly interested in that topic but the book does offer a lot on safety, how to clean and maintain your firearms, and many of the issues relating to owning a firearm. The book touches on legal issues, scenerios to be aware of, and of course self-defense and practical concerns. A good basic book for beginner to intermediate skill levels, experts should probably look elsewhere.
Very Comprehensive book. February 1, 2008

Very Comprehensive book.
It covers many aspects of owning a handgun, from actually using & maintaining one to some important aspects of what is allowed under the law.
I only wish the author included a few more diagrams to explain some basic concepts such as the difference in shape & sizes of various bullets and also when he described certain parts of a handgun.
All in all a 5 star book.

I recently wrote a novel in which my heroine starts out completely
ignorant of guns and quickly develops a working knowledge. Well, the completely ignorant part was easy for me-I used a .22 for plinking when
I was a kid and that's it.
The 'getting knowledgeable' part was harder, but only a little. An armful of magazines, this book and two others and my heroine Paula was a regular ballistician. Seriously, this is well organized and loaded with the kind of detail that a real or fictional gun owner would need.

I highly reccomend this book. I knew very little about handguns, when I bought this book. This book takes you through everything you need to know when you don't know anything about guns. From selecting a self defense handgun to handling, ammunition, shooting, holsters, Psychological factors, and more.
I believe this is the best book out there for someone just starting out.
