I was particularly pleased by the information about Smith & Wesson firearms (and imitations made by other companies) during the Civil War period and the subsequent period of Western expansion. I had assumed that few metallic cartridge handguns were used in the Civil War. The book indicates that, while they were not military issue weapons, they were widely purchased by officers and soldiers as personal weapons. I was also interested in learning that Smith & Wesson brought out a large caliber metallic cartridge revolver, the 1870 American model, three years before the famous 1873 Colt Single Action Army, and that this and other Smith & Wessons were used by gunfighters like Jesse James. (Replicas of period S&W's are finally showing up in Western movies, something which was overdue.) The book is a real bargain on Kindle. Review: that other brand - Smith and Wesson, among my favorite mechanical devices, wheel devices are fun, and adequate. this is a good addition to my mechanical library.

CC46 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wealth of info , little hard to follow *by D***K on April 26, 2022* I’m half way through this book and it’s a wealth of information I must admit, it does have an annoying feature however. There are numerous plates / pics/ renderings ,etc… in the back of the book but he almost never refers to them during the text making it difficult to get a visual of what’s being described. I also found the chronological order of things a little difficult to follow. Finally I found it odd that he didn’t go deeper at the beginning of the book on the specific talents of Horace Smith and Daniel Wesson. Having said all of that…the detail in the book is rather amazing, especially the connection to the cartridge side of the story as the firearms are being developed. . Solid book overall. ## Frequently Bought Together - Smith & Wesson Hand Guns - Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson, 5th Edition (Standard Catalog of Smith and Wesson) - Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/5103214-smith-and-wesson-hand-guns](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/5103214-smith-and-wesson-hand-guns) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
