## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Relevant info for today's BP enthusiasts
*by D***E on December 22, 2024*

I have several black powder books and this is the most up to date on black powder substitute and the quality and performance of today's reproductions. This book may save you money on powder, ball even patches. These guys did the research for us. Great reference and a good read

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good history with some technical info on the Cap and Ball revolvers
*by P***W on February 28, 2025*

Book arrived safe and on time. Not too many photos or illustrations, but information is gleaned from the text.Much detailed historical knowledge. For mechanical mechanism knowledge on function, especially Colts, See Jerry Kuhnhausen's book "Colt Single Action Revolvers, A Shop Manual" from Amazon.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well Worth A Read
*by M***N on July 8, 2014*

Mike Cumpston and Johnny Bates have taken on the task of sharing the how-tos, and what-abouts of classic 19th century arms, and they do a fine job of it.Things start off with an overview on the loading procedure followed by a quick discussion of the various historical bullet types with their positives and negatives laid out. Then the authors get to the meat and potatoes.The book is sectioned into chapters covering three historical periods to provide the reader a sense of perspective on the development of the various handguns discussed in each chapter. The history and development of each model is followed by a shooter's review of the pistol's ballistic performance, and disassembly instructions.I heartily recommend this book for anyone interested in the revolvers of the true "Old West". (That's before the Colt .45 "Peacemaker", y'all) The historical information is well presented, and the shooting reviews give the reader an excellent feel for what these pistols were capable of. The color photographs in this edition are a huge improvement over a prior version published some years ago.An excellent choice for experienced shooters and newcomers alike. You'll never watch "The Outlaw Josey Wales" or "Quigley Down Under" the same way after reading this book.
