Rating  - Mr. Taffin Knows a Little About Big Bore Sixguns
If "Jeopardy!" ever had a category for Big Bore Sixguns, John Taffin would run the board and break the bank. This book has all the data, anecdotes, and history than anyone interested in this subject could want.Taffin's knowledge is not mere facts and figures - he is clearly an accomplished hunter and silhouetter as well.Although unsophisticated observers might complain about the organization of the book, I found it to be laid out in a clear and logical manner. The color section is a special bonus, with beautiful photographs of customized weapons. "Big Bore Sixguns" is a true labor of love, and a worthy addition to any gun lover's library.
Rating - Against my better judgement, I love this book
First, let me establish that I am a pro-gun control liberal -- who just happens to like guns. I bought this book when I starting feeling the irresistable urge to buy a single action revolver. I felt that I needed to read up on the subject, and look at some nice pictures of sixguns.
Boy, did this book pay off -- in spades. It looks like a coffee table book, has pretty pictures like a coffee table book, but -- jeez, this guy knows a lot about sixguns!
The only problem with this book is that, in my opinion, it should have been organized differently. This is the first book I've ever felt I wanted to type into my computer and edit for my own use.
My point is that this book has something to offer, even if you are not a "true sixgunner". (As I said, I'm a left-wing, pro-gun control city boy, and I want to customize my six-shooter -- even before I've bought one!)
