Add to basketProfusely illustrated, this is Meadows' first volume on U.S. Military Automatic Pistols. First the early Colt models are covered - the Model 1900, Model 1902, Model 1907, Model 1909, Model 1910, ant the Model 1911 Special Army. The author then provides in depth coverage of the Model 1911 and the various companies that produced it. He delves into the various weapons that competed against the Colt Model 1911 for adoption by the U.S. Military - first the American Competitors, and then the Foreign Entrants. He then covers the Gallery Practice Pistols, other Colt Automatic Pistols, Cutaway Demonstation Pisols, and finally Ammunition, Accoutrements and Appendages. The information gathered here has come from primary sources, such as Ordnance Department correspondence and records, the examination of pistols in both public and private collections, correspondence with the collecting fraternity, and secondary souces such as manuals and period publications. The format of this book relies heavily upon material quoted directly from the original records. An outstanding reference book. Long out of print and highly sought after. A perfectly preserved hard to find new copy. 8 3/4 X 11 1/4 inches, hardcover with dust jacket, illus, 558 pages.
