Sixguns

From the back cover of the 1961 edition of Sixguns:

The author documents in this invaluable reference work his lifetime experiences and findings on this historic weapon. Elmer Keith, recognized as the world expert on guns, reports on new developments in arms and ammunition with a variety of splendid photographs of old and rare guns along with current American models. Included in his remarks is a treasury of absorbing information about marksmen with numerous illustrations of trick shooting, quick draws, hip-shooting and police training.

More than fifty years of experience and experimentation in handguns with Indian fighters, vigilantes and frontier lawmen makes Mr. Keith a specialist in his field. As the Cleveland Plain Dealer puts it, â€œOther books have been written on the revolverâ€“other books will be writtenâ€“butâ€¦Sixguns by Keith is and will remain the final authority.â€

This 1961 revised edition contains a supplemental chapter which includes information about the .44 Magnum and other firearms developments that were groundbreaking in 1961.

For the eBook edition of "Sixguns" all of the images have been condensed at the end of the book to create a better and less interrupted reading experience.

About the Author:

Elmer Keith (1899-1984) was a rancher and firearms author who helped to develop the .357 Magnum, .41 Magnum, and .44 Magnum. Keith, an expert cartridge reloader, also developed his own style of semi-wadcutter bullet, called the Keith style bullet.

Keith served as a key link between the gunmen of the late 1800â€²s and modern firearm enthusiasts. His interactions with Civil War veterans and western gunfighters gave Keith unique knowledge which he carried well into the 20th century.
