Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. 511 pages. Almost 600 illustrations, many in color. Hardcover with a dust jacket. Huge volume. This is a well-informed discourse by a professional self-defense expert covering all aspects of the famous k-frame revolver, the tried-and-true cornerstone product of the prestigious armsmaking firm Smith & Wesson, Inc. of Springfield, Massachusetts. From its antecedent .32 caliber Hand Ejector model, introduced in 1896, through well over a century of production, the S&W K-Frame, revolver has long been the most perennially popular sidearm in the company's catalog, with production totals in excess of all other S&W models combined. K-Frame S&Ws have proven to be exceptionally versatile throughout this unprecedentedly long period. Fixed-sight M&P versions have provided much peace of mind to those who carried them as duty guns or who kept one handy for home protection, while the adjustably-sighted target models have performed with great reliability and precision in matches fired by a vast number of target shooters> both types have proven themselves over time to be dependable companions in wild and dangerous places. It is most interesting to consider, as we do in this book, how safety features on Smith & Wesson revolvers have been a recurring theme over the years. Obviously right from the beginning everyone connected withe newly-developed Hand Ejectors was familiar with the danger of a weapon firing when dropped if a cartride was under the firing pin. We have documented the repeated efforts by Smith & Wesson to ensure that their revolvers were free from this hazard, with the most recent modification being added in 1944 in responnse to the incident of a sailor who was fatally shot by his dropped Victory Model during WWII. A sequesl to Volume I, Magnum - The S&W Phenominon. The page and figure numbering in this book continnues on from wher Volume I left off, and a comprehensive Index to both volumes appears in the back of this book. An outstanding new reference. Excellent. Out of print and scarce. A New copy. Seller Inventory # 5045
