The Colt .45 Exotic Weapons System

If you, too, are tired of dogma, rumors and statements that everyone "just knows" are true about handguns, then you will have a great time reading this book! In a lively and provocative style, noted gun expert Duane Thomas examines many of the myths surrounding the Colt .45 auto, the "King of the Combat Handguns"; the hype surrounding handgun stopping power; the truth about Alvin York's incredible World War I fire fight; the answers to the questions, "Are revolvers dead?" and "Just how good is the .40 Smith & Wesson cartridge?"; the arguments both for and against high-capacity auto pistols and the real deal on those hard-to-shoot double-action pistols.
