A Very Good Resource

If you're into ANY aspect of shooting from long guns to handguns to ballistics to reloading to optics...this is a definitive guide on what is what, and why it is that way! While I find it extremely helpful with the gun listings ALONE, the publishers do manage to have a few models slip through the cracks...but that's not to detract from the overall appeal of this yearly publication. The prices included become a good baseline for local dealers, so you can guage market values when looking for "that special" gun you always wanted. After all....with SEVEN MILLION copies sold...the publishers MUST be doing something right! One thing I would like to see added (as if they don't put enough information in there already) would be a section of AIRGUNS...not the sirsoft, but things like the Red Ryder BB rifle for example. I know many youngsters shoot these as well, and we shouldn't be leaving them out in the cold, should we? This is a must have (every year)!

Still the One

For as long as I can remember, the yearly "The Shooter's Bible" has been THE definitive source. In detailing all types of fire arms, from shotguns to handguns, and everything above and below, the Shooter's Bible has become an absolute treasure for anyone learning firearms. Whether you are in the police academy, basic training, a writer, pawn broker, or a fire arm enthusiast, this is the most valuable resource in publication. Period.

Invaluable reference guide

For many years I have found the Shooter's Bible an invaluable reference guide for specifications, price ranges, and new product information on thousands of hand guns, rifles, shotguns, and related equipment. It really is a "bible" for the majority of shooting sports enthusiasts. Combined with a stop by the rental counter of your local range for hands-on experience, this tome is exactly what you need to purchase a new firearm or ascertain the value of one you might be interested in trading in or selling. It helps you keep tabs on interesting new products before you can find them in your local gun shop. The price information is not always accurate yet it is a good reference point (always best to shop around anyway). There is also a "blue book" of gun values available separately though it costs a lot more than this book so I have not bothered to purchase it. The reviews and specifications are universally outstanding. Lawrence Kane Author of Surviving Armed Assaults, The Way of Kata, and Martial Arts Instruction
