desertcart.com: Gunsmithing Pistols & Revolvers: 9781440242960: Sweeney, Patrick: Books Review: GREAT book - I found a online copy of an old issue of this book and just had to buy the newer edition. It's got so much good info in it, it's worth every penny. If you tinker with your handguns, buy this book. Review: Useful, interesting and helpful - I found this a good book to give overall guidance and detail on a number of jobs. The explanations of how things work are very useful for understanding what is going on in the mechanisms and what the consequences of changes will be. It's relatively up to date but Mr Sweeney does go over some basic things quickly; maybe a little too quickly for beginners. A book such as Pistolsmithing by George C. Nonte is a good companion. The photographs are much better than the 3rd edition. Don't pay any attention to what's on the back of the book though: completely revised, well yes it has been revised; there are no chapters on the S&W M&P, nor Ruger SR9/40/45, nor the CZ-75. I've found a few explanations difficult to follow when talking about specific parts of a handgun component: diagrammes or pictures with arrows would be a great help. Generally the photos and text work well together. Clear fault-finding and fixing chapters. Overall a very good book which I would recommend; one star off for the false advertising.

A nice practical guide with some extra goodies
I haven't done any gunsmithing to speak of. But with this book in hand, I feel that I will be able to do some basic repairs myself if the need arises. Another review mentions that cylinder retiming isn't covered. Really? I distinctly remember reading about that topic. One reason I bought this book is for a subject I haven't seen covered elsewhere: how gun actions work. I had no clue how an automatic pistol actually operates (or, for that matter, a revolver, beyond the superficially obvious). Sweeney describes the basics well and clearly, with the help of photos of "cut away" automatics. It certainly is not a survey of all the types of automatic action that exist, but it covers the 1911 quite well, and with that background, others (like Glock or Boberg) are much easier to understand as variations on a common principle.

Bit dated the guns in the book but some good tips especially liked the section on magazine maintenance
