looking for book on History of the Semi-Auto pistol

Post by gringogigante »

Any ideas on the best book for the history of the semi-auto pistol?

Maybe even a comprehensive history on pistols of all kinds....

I can scan amazon like anyone else, but I"m looking for guidance based on books you've read, discussed, heard of, or been told directly about.

thanks guys!!
Thanks!

I'm showing prices for this book from $25-40 on up to $130!!! Do you mind if I ask you how much you paid for it and where your family bought this?

Sorry to be nosey.... :???:
