Summary: A complete work for handgun hunting
Review: The book opens with an interesting general history of handguns, then expands into in-depth coverage of the various types of handguns from autoloaders to bolt action, specifying with which are best for what handgun hunting applications. Cartridge/firearm combinations run from the rim fires to the Striker 300 WSM bolt gun. Proprietary cartridges are included, such as the JDJ line up produced by SSK Industries. There are excellent sections that address field steady holds and practice shooting required in preparation for hunting, and excellent coverage of the various sights on the market including scopes and electric dot. There is coverage of various celebrity, or near celebrity hunters in pursuit of various types of North American and more exotic African game. All good stories, lots of hardware detail and well defined circumstances of kills. Chapters addressing handgun customizing for hunting, safety and equipment maintenance are all worthwhile.The best way I could explain my reaction to the book is that when I finished, I dragged out all of my handguns that could be considered hunting pieces, to compare them and their sighting systems to what I had just read about in the book. Then I began digging around to see when was the next near opportunity to get out and do a little handgun hunting. Great read, well done.
