FIGHTING HANDGUNS: HISTORY, ADVENTURE, AND ROMANCE OF HANDGUNS FROM THE MUZZLE LOADER TO MODERN MAGNUMS

Book ID/图书代码： 10099813B64858

English Summary/英文概要： The development of the handgun, from mid-16th century Europe to modern day. From the 1540s on, the handgun has been recognised as a handy weapon for individual fighters. Compared to other weapons such as the axe, sword, rifle and shotgun, it is light and compact, allowing it to be carried almost anywhere and deployed quickly when needed. For these reasons, throughout the centuries the handgun has endured as the best defensive weapon for most people, most of the time. In Fighting Handguns, Jeff Cooper not only takes the reader through the development of this weapon from its beginnings in mid-16th-century Europe through the various iterations of single- and double-action revolvers and semiautomatic pistols, he also discusses some important aspects of carrying and shooting a fighting handgun under combat conditions.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 手枪的发展历史，从16世纪中叶的欧洲一直到现代。从16世纪40年代起，手枪已被有些战士认定为是得心应手的武器。相比于其他武器，如斧头，剑，步枪和猎枪，它重量轻，结构紧凑，几乎可以任何地方使用，并能快速部署。由于这些原因，在整个世纪中对于大多数人来说，大部分时间里手枪是最好的防御性武器。在《战斗手枪》中，杰夫•库珀不仅会带领读者浏览这种武器的发展历史，从在16世纪中期的欧洲开始出现，有各种迭代的单精度和双动左轮手枪和半自动手枪，他还讨论了在作战条件下，战斗手枪的携带和拍摄等一些重要方面的问题。(LNL)
