Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons provides an in-depth review of Edward C. Ezell's 'Handguns of the World.' This 700-page encyclopedia is lauded for its immense value as a reference, covering military handguns, revolvers, and early self-loading pistols with significant technical detail and historical context. Despite its mass-market publication, the book is considered an essential resource for firearms enthusiasts and researchers.
This video is a book review of Gordon Bruce's "The Evolution of Military Automatic Pistols: Self-loading Pistol Designs of Two World Wars and the Men who Invented Them." The book focuses on the biographies of 25 automatic pistol designers, from early pioneers like Borchardt and Mannlicher to more contemporary figures like Tokarev. The reviewer highlights that the book caters to both technical collectors and casual enthusiasts, offering a broader perspective on gun designs by detailing the lives and other pursuits of the inventors, rather than just focusing on minute firearm details. The book is also suggested as an ideal Father's Day gift.
