This 15th edition of the Handgun annual is edited by the well-known gun editor/writer Ken Ramage. This famous annual publication features piles of information about handguns of all sorts as well as accessories for them. What we always look forward to are the coverage of current handgun trends and new products.
This edition is completely updated and expanded witha large and useful reference section at the rear. There are some very fine new feature articles covering new gun trends, handgun hunting and self defense. John Taffin reports on new revolvers and single shot pistols while John Malloy covers new autolaoders. There is also the NRA's Compendium of Firearms Laws and a state by state right to carry reciprocity guide, very handy!
An updated catalog section includes descriptive listings with photos and retail prices for all commercially available handguns and accessories like grips, reloading equipment, sights, scopes, etc.. Handguns 2003 offers a wealth of information for anyone interested in handguns, its a must-have if you are shopping around for a new gun and a very useful reference for anyone in the arms industry or in law enforcement.
