Summary: Worth the Cost
Review: While this text may be beneath the experienced shooter, it was what I needed. My wife and I were selecting a handgun for concealed carry and, being novice shooters, we felt like Wiley Clapp was personally walking us through the selection process. We were better informed and knew what to look for before we walked in to make a purchase. Mr Clapp stresses the positives of each firearm presented along with some of the negatives while maintaining a focus on his main subject: Concealed Carry. His final chapter covers his personal favorites/recommendations. Only recommendation that I felt was not stressed in the text was to try and find a way to fire different guns before making a purchase. Text is easy to read and flows well. Chapters are sorted logically by subject (size/type of handguns). Would have liked color pictures but the BW images are effective and in keeping with the "get to the point," no nonsense nature of the book.
