Gunsmithing Pistols & Revolvers

I found a online copy of an old issue of this book and just had to buy the newer edition. It's got so much good info in it, it's worth every penny. If you tinker with your handguns, buy this book.

Excellent reference book. I have had it for a few years now. I still go back to it every once in a while for reference.

I found this a good book to give overall guidance and detail on a number of jobs. The explanations of how things work are very useful for understanding what is going on in the mechanisms and what the consequences of changes will be. It's relatively up to date but Mr Sweeney does go over some basic things quickly; maybe a little too quickly for beginners. A book such as Pistolsmithing by George C. Nonte is a good companion. The photographs are much better than the 3rd edition. Don't pay any attention to what's on the back of the book though: completely revised, well yes it has been revised; there are no chapters on the S&W M&P, nor Ruger SR9/40/45, nor the CZ-75. I've found a few explanations difficult to follow when talking about specific parts of a handgun component: diagrammes or pictures with arrows would be a great help. Generally the photos and text work well together. Clear fault-finding and fixing chapters. Overall a very good book which I would recommend; one star off for the false advertising.

constant referral in my library.I go back time and again when I have a senior moment,and forget where a part needs to go.

A lot of good information but not what i was expecting. Not as indepth and comprehensive as I hoped.

Good guide

very happy with magazine

Is very informative and comprehensive. Exactly the information I was looking for.

Excellent Resource

Bit dated the guns in the book but some good tips especially liked the section on magazine maintenance
