| The Custom Revolver
is essential reading for shooters, handgun hunters, collectors or anyone
else with an interest not only in custom revolvers but revolvers in
general. Many handgun-related books touch on the general topic of custom
revolvers, but never before have the nearly unlimited possibilities
available from skilled, custom revolversmiths been cataloged and covered
in such depth and detail.
The Custom Revolver begins with a discussion of available
revolvers, notes their strengths and weaknesses and proceeds to show all
manner of sights, exotic barrels and custom cylinders for popular Colt,
Ruger and Smith & Wesson revolvers. Other chapters contain valuable
insights into such topics as the compatibility of various modifications,
shooting techniques, revolver accuracy and testing, reloading
high-performance revolver ammunition, wildcat cartridges, finishing,
custom grips and much more.
Several chapters are
devoted to truly exotic revolvers, many of which are one of a kind, such
as a .577 Redhawk and a twenty-six ounce, ultra-lightweight .50 Action
Express Blackhawk with a titanium barrel and cylinder. Other sections
touch on the Colt Flat-Top Target model, the fascinating Sedgley take-out
cylinder revolvers and many others. Not only is the fabulous Seyfried No.
13 revolver discussed and illustrated, but also the first chapter is
devoted to the most famous custom revolver of all -- the Keith No. 5.
Only Hamilton S. Bowen,
founder of Bowen Classic Arms Corporation, could have written this book.
No other revolver maker has produced a portfolio of gun work of such
diversity, quality and sophistication, the product of the experience and
skill gained from his twenty-year career in the trade. Publications the
world over have featured the work of his firm.
The Custom Revolver
is the definitive book on the topic and is destined to become a classic.
