Although this book is a bit dated it covers all the major brands of "Wheelguns" in detail. Smith, Colt, Ruger, Taurus etc. Enough info. for the mechanically inclined to do complete teardowns. Money well spent.

Very good book, detailed description, sufficient quantity of illustrations of decent quality.

The book was not revised or expanded enough compared to the first edition. For example, it still does not list Taurus revolvers such as Raging Bull or model 608 - both are quite popular.

In short, if your firearm is one of those described - it's a good book to have.

As a Gunsmith I find any Books about Weapons printed by Mr. Wood invaluable for my Business

Everything you need to know about the subject and very easy to read. A classic

This book is fantastic. It already saved me hundreds of dollars and much time. For example: The sideplate on my python came loose while shooting, the pawl got dislocated, and everything locked up. This was a sad day. Fortunately, this book had arrived in the afternoon. I was able to use it to completely strip all parts from the python, fix it, completely clean the action and reassemble, despite the common wisdom that the python's "swiss watch" action makes it impossible for mortals to touch and not destroy.

I've bought a lot of books I liked on amazon, this is the first that was so helpful I felt like I had to write a review.

There were a couple of things I'd like to see improved: (1) clearer pictures, (2) the book skipped one step that you had to interpolate by staring at pictures (in which details were hard to see), and (3) the author's bio is disconcertingly egomaniacal.


A more detailed, excellent book I'd also highly recommend: THE COLT DOUBLE ACTION REVOLVERS: A SHOP MANUAL, VOL. I.
by Kuhnhausen, Jerry.
