No firearm is more easily recognizable than the 1873 Colt single action Army revolver - conjuring up images of Theodore Roosevelt in the Dakotas, Lt. George Patton with Black Jack Pershing in Mexico and the Earps and Doc Holliday at the O.K. Corral.

Colt's famous six-shooter is one of hundreds of models of single action revolvers that have been used in battles across the continent. Packed with more than 350 photos and thousands of facts about single-action revolvers from 1850 to today, Single Action Sixguns captures a history beginning with Samuel Colt and ending with Bill Ruger, John Linebaugh and Dick Casull.

In this fascinating book, you will find chapters on:

Customizing single action sixguns
Grips, loads and leather
Hunting
Personal defense
Ammunition, cartridge reloading and more

This book is also available from Echo Point Books as a hardcover (ISBN 1635616913).
