Born of medieval legend, the hand-gun has developed over the centuries through numerous functional and decorative models to the sophisticated laser-sighted hardware of the 1980s. This book features the story of the duelling pistol; the Colt rivals; the Luger; the Broomhandle Mauser, which spearheaded the quest for automatic weapons and the Browning Bipower, designed in the 1920s, but still the world's most popular Service pistol. Lavishly illustrated, page after page.
