Book Description
Smith & Wesson is one of the world?s most recognizable and

innovative gun manufacturers. Today?s active shooters,

gunsmiths and collectors have a particular interest in the guns

that have been used by nearly every major law and military

Wesson guns on a model-by-model basis, giving enthusiasts a

brief history, a review of technical specifications, and a report

on test shooting and performance for each.

The book covers all categories of Smith & Wesson arms,

including revolvers, automatic pistols and long guns. A special

chapter gives readers a tour of the Smith & Wesson factory

and corporation, and other features include a look at

competition uses, Smith & Wesson rarities, and use of the

weapons in law enforcement.

4 out of 5 stars Interesting book   March 10, 2007
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

The book is built around several "tests" of different S&W handguns, and it also gives some historical- and tech info.


5 out of 5 stars An Excellent Survey of Current S&W guns   November 5, 2006
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

This book provides an excellent survey of handguns currently offered by Smith and Wesson. The writer has extensive pratical experience and has been assisted with test firing by a group of friends. Very readable and lots of good photos. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone thinking of purchasing a new or near new S&W.


4 out of 5 stars Gun Digest of Smith & Wesson.   July 10, 2006

Not quite what I was expecting in this book,but is very informative on later model handguns from this great gunmaker.
Will have to look further for a book with models and serial numbers.



3 out of 5 stars A good basic Study of S&W Handguns   July 3, 2006
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Patrick Sweeney has taken on the task of giving an extensive review of the available handguns of Smith & Wesson. He goes into considerable depth on the practical use of the various models and what can be expected on the range, in competion and for the very serious job of Concealed Weapons Carry. Chapters on History, Ammunition, Buying Used, and Competion round this fine effort out.


4 out of 5 stars Gun Digest Book of S&W   February 19, 2006
 7 out of 7 found this review helpful

I am a novice S&W collector and was hoping for more of a reference work covering specific models and variations of Smith & Wesson handguns. This book is biased towards current models, both revolvers and semi-autos. The material that is covered is well written, interesting, and timely. Sections are devoted to a sampling of current models, company history, accessories, proper disassembly and maintenance, etc. However, if you are a collector looking for wider coverage of specific models this book may dissappoint. The book is better suited to people who are interested in what S&W is currently offering or how to care for their S&W guns.
