Writing with deceptive simplicity, the author describes the workings both of pistols and revolvers. He details such crucial aspects as feeding and firing systems, extraction and ejection, barrels and grips, sights, and the use of scopes. Moreover, his lucid discussion of bullets, powders, cases, and primers does much to illuminate his description of bores, ballistics, and how a bullet reacts once the trigger is pulled.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from The Modern American Pistol and Revolver: Including a Description of Modern Pistols and Revolvers of American Make; Ammunition Used in These Arms; Results Accomplished; And Shooting-Rules Followed by American Marksmen For many years the author was among the great number of persons who believed it was impossible to do fine shooting with a pistol beyond a few yards, and out of the question to secure much accuracy from a revolver. With the object of learning the limit of accuracy these arms possessed, a great many experiments were arranged and exhibitions given by the most skilful marksmen to be found. The spirit of rivalry soon became apparent, and, without doubt, has considerably aided in determining the possibilities of the pistol and revolver. The author feels that his labors have not been in vain, as he has the testimony of manufacturers of these arms, as well as cartridge-makers, that the results obtained within a period of three years are finer than it was thought possible.
