Gun Digest Books of Hunting Revolvers

I read and loved Max’s other book, “Big Bore Revolvers”. I hesitated on buying this book, as hunting with a handgun is really not my thing, based on where I live, etc.I recently saw max on one of the shooting programs, and it waited my appetite to take a closer look at this book.My copy arrive today. I should be doing other things right now, but I cannot put this book down. If you have any interest at all in big bore revolvers, you need this book, as well as the other book by Max.Endless amount of detail, great pictures, great stories, all the popular handguns are detailed, the calibers a detailed, as well as the innovators who brought them to fruition.Dick Casull, John Linebaugh, etc.You know that feeling that happens when you hesitate on buying something, and then you buy it, and you think to yourself “why on earth did I wait, I should’ve bought this along time ago? “Great book!!

Not recommended. Lots of photos about custom revolvers that take several years to be delivered after you pay up front $5,000 or more and hope that they get delivered.Photos of hunting in Africa etc and almost no hunting in North America.Dated information with no information about Biggest Finest Revolvers were previously special order revolvers are now available.

Excellent book for the handgun hunter as well as lovers of big bore revolvers. Includes detailed information on the cartridges applicable to hunting as well as numerous accounts of their use in the hunting fields by the author and a number of other experienced hunters. This book will be very useful for the beginner looking for a good overview of the necessary equipment, yet there is enough information here to entertain the veteran as well. Especially compelling is the excellent comparison between the 45 Colt and 44 magnum, one of which will almost certainly end up in every handgun hunters battery at one point or another. Although the choice between the two isn't made any easier there is alot of solid information to help you make a decision. If you have an interest in heading afield with a revolver, this book belongs on your bookshelf

great book, it's full of good info on hunting revolvers and of the accessories and bullets and loads to go with them. photography is awesome and it is really a well done book. it's great to see all the contributors and their hunts as well. Tim above has decided he can't play with the big boys and has an axe to grind, or maybe he's just mad his wife won't let him buy one, but he couldn't be more wrong. this book is well worth the purchase and time to read. very very well done!

And bought this book instead of Max's earlier ones on similar subjects. The book is well written, informative and contains all the information I wish I had when I started hand gunning. Many useful tips and tried and true solutions to many issues pertaining to handling these "hand cannons". Highly recommend this book to experienced hand gunners and a must read for anyone wanting to get into this fun way of procuring sustenance.
