Classic book. If you are interested in Colt Single Actions (or Uberti, Pietta, etc), this book is a a great resource. Well written Sir, well written!!

Whether you are a Colt Collector or just interested in single action revolversthis is the book for you.

I was expecting a nice book on Colt Single action revolvers. The book is a hodgepd of articles in in 160 pages with no particular order. I do not recommend it.

Excellent product and shipping

A good read on the fabled Colt Single Action Army. The volume arrived quickly. I have enjoyed reading this book myself, and our library patrons have enjoyed it.

Especially needed the information on serial numbers produced by year. The book has a lot of other good information, too.

Excellent products great service.

A slim (160-page) coffee table book that will please, but...... O'Meara's setting of the Colt SAA in its historical background is clear, simplified and useful for anyone who has difficulty quite fathoming the sometimes intricate development of and differences between the various Colt pistols -- from the Patterson, Pocket, Walker, Dragoon, Navy, and Army models up to the SAA. The rest of the book covers a broad range of SAA topics -- replicas, rivals, fine-tuning, conversions and variants, cartridges, engraving, cowboy shooting, etc -- all in somewhat simple style and language. I get the impression no new ground is broken with this book. I imagine it is tough to publish such a limited-audience book and have it emerge just as one would wish it to be, however a professional editor (i.e. someone other than the author) could have done much to improve the readability and attractiveness of it. The pokey little b&w photos that litter the text are better than nothing but don't convey the power of thse guns or their historic significance. Any firearms catalogue offers better. And the color photos, which are bigger and better than the b&ws are too amateurish (or badly printed by today's standards) to enthuse any but the already enthused. I don't want to be negative as this book is obviously a labor of love by O'Meara. But I was disappointed that more had not been made of the opportunity to show off this key part of (monument to?) grass roots American history. ( ). That's a bit steep for a book with these limitations IMHO.

有名なガンマンやその筋では著名なシューターの記事が載っています。が、私がこのての洋書に手を出すのはモデルガンを弄る時の参考書にする為なので大判カラー写真が少ないのは残念でした。ただタイトルにコルトとある割にはS&Wのスコーフィールドにラッシャン、それとルガーのブラックホークが載っていたりパットンのS.A.A.もカラー写真があるのは良かったです。それに少ない写真の中でエングレーブドモデルだけではなくて表面のブルーやケースハードゥンが鮮やかなイタリアンレプリカを使っているのは個人的には正解だったなと思います。
