Review: Easy reading, answers ALL of my questions - First, I will say I am a female shooter. But, my husband has also reviewed this book and totally agrees with my review. Although I have been around guns my entire life, my dad was in law enforcement, and he and I've done a lot of hunting, my knowledge on guns has always been a little superficial. I can operate them, I understand gun safety, and I can do simple cleaning. For Christmas this year, my desire was to add something new to my collection, which is mainly rifles/shotguns with one semi-automatic pistol,,,,I wanted and got a snub nose Ruger .357 revolver. It is such a beautiful little thing, with its satin stainless steel finish. "It" made me want to understand it better, to know how to use it to it's full potential, keep it in best working order. With that, I started looking for reading material. There are so many books and magazines out there, it was a daunting task. I needed something that was suitable for the novice, yet comprehensive for the more savy, which I hope I will be with practice. This book totally fits the bill! It will satisfy the needs of a newbie and not insult the well seasoned gun owner. I've only spent a couple of hours with it so far, but can't wait to read it from cover to cover. It goes over the basics of cleaing and handling, but also discusses special needs loading (ie: one handed loading), marksmanship with the different length barrels, and how to compensate when one's eyesight is no longer 20/20 (I need this) and positioning for accuracy. I love that it talks about ammo. I do not have a good knowledge base on ammo, ie: weights and velocity. For instanace, I did not know what the "acp" in 45acp meant. Now I do! I now understand why I can use .38's in my revolver, and why you can't use .357's in a 38 special. And, what I learn from this book I will be able to apply a lot of it to using my Beretta semi-auto and my hunting guns. And the author is skilled in his writing, he keeps the reader's interest. The book itself is not cheaply made either. It is made from nice, heavy stock paper, the pictures and print are very crisp, unlike some books that seem to be made from newspaper quality paper. I definately give this one a thumbs up, and will be looking for other works by this author! Review: Excellent information presented excellently! - Full disclosure, I have known about Grant Cunningham for many years; he recently did an action job and other modifications to my Colt Python, making a gun that was already a joy to shoot into one that needs to be shot to be believed. When I found out he had a book coming out I was very interested in getting it to continue my education about revolvers, my favorite type of hand gun. This book is an excellent read, full of information for all levels of gun owner. Grant presents the information in an easily read, very informative, yet succinct style I really appreciate. He covers all areas of wheel gunning from grips to sights to double action shooting to cleaning and on and on. As I like to do, I gave it a quick read for starters, and am now on my second, "deep" reading, and enjoying every minute. I highly recommend this book to gun folks of all interests, it belongs in your gun library. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #698,771 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #33 in Antique & Collectible Firearms & Weapons #133 in Sports Shooting #178 in Firearm Collecting | ## Images ![The Gun Digest Book of the Revolver - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71jdCkzM02L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy reading, answers ALL of my questions *by J***R on January 15, 2012* First, I will say I am a female shooter.

That said, I will list my quibbles with the book, which almost all have to do with what strikes me as a somewhat misleading title. With a title like `Book of the Revolver', I was expecting a thorough treatise on the revolver, including its history from the very earliest models through current iterations. I looked forward to a learned exposition on, for example, such things as the Colt Paterson, cap & ball conversions, the Smith & Wesson Schofield, 20th Century refinements and improvements, and such oddities as the Webley-Fosbury semi-automatic revolver. Nope. The book ignores all that and instead concentrates on modern, currently produced double action revolvers, and virtually ignores the single actions, modern or otherwise. Setting aside my mistaken expectations, the book is an excellent resource for anyone deciding between a revolver and semi-automatic handgun. Once the decision to go with a revolver is made, the author very clearly and intelligently discusses many aspects of shooting, carrying, maintaining, and customizing the weapon. Mr. Cunningham clearly states his own personal preferences and why, but also presents alternative views on such things as sight pictures, types of grips, etc. Also, the book has many black and white photos that clearly illustrate the points made. All in all, once the book's focus is understood, the GunDigest Book of the [Modern Double Action] Revolver is highly recommended for anyone who wishes to thoroughly understand the weapon. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/102803176-the-gun-digest-book-of-the-revolver](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/102803176-the-gun-digest-book-of-the-revolver) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-10-16*
