All you ever nedd or want to know about S&W firearms,
By Paladin "And that's the truth" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Standard Catalog of Smith and Wesson (Hardcover)
Covers all S&W manufactured firearms, including rifles, shotguns, and submachine guns, up through 2001. This is a much expanded version of the first edition. IF you have the 1st edition, you still need to buy the 2nd edition... .there is just that much more info on model variants, and more photos. If you are a SW collector, you will sleep with this by your pillow. One of the best reference books devoted to S&W I have seen, more comprehensive info on the models than Roy Jinks' History of S&W, each variant of each model is explained in detail, with stock number, changes made, ways of identifying each variant, some serial number info, lots of photos, etc. The info on non-handgun products is about 10 percent of the book, and it covers even the S&W handcuffs. The info on the handguns is what this book is about, and it does an outstanding job. I'm an S&W wheelgun lover, and this is one of my most valued books. And the short history of the company is fascinating as well. IF you like Smith & Wessons, you absolutely must put this book on your shelf.

BEST GUN REFERENCE EVER!,
By STEVE FREY - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Standard Catalog of Smith and Wesson (Hardcover)
From the author of IMPORTED MILITARY FIREARMS 1866-1899:I wish that all such books were as good as this one-- including mine! Everything is laid out logically, with good pictures, so that it is very easy to quickly find your piece without knowing much more than "its an S&W". All the stats are there plus a lot of minutia, which might bore the average reader, but if you happen to have one of those things, you just can't get enough of it. Also, the irreverant writing style goes a long way towards offsetting the dry nature of a reference. 28 of 29 people found the following review helpful:

Better late than never,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Standard Catalog of Smith and Wesson (Hardcover)
There is not much I can add beyond Mr. Irwin's review except to say that Supica and Nahas have written a highly thorough, readable, and entertaing text that S&W collectors and fanciers will find very useful for years to come. It only goes up to late 1995 however, so certain newer guns like the model 696 are not covered. I would still say that it is a treasure trove of good information, but for S&W company history, Jinks is the undisputed authority. This book is more of a product overview, so keep Supica and Nahas right next to Jinks on your bookshelf.
