Book Description

Aug 31 2012

Is bigger better? You bet it is, when it's a big-bore revolver!

Big-Bore Revolvers offers a one-stop resource for the wheelgun novice to the hardened veteran and everyone in between. With in-depth coverage of commercial and wildcat calibers and their effectiveness, theoretical and actual application of terminal ballistics and a detailed look at today's available revolver platforms, this is the most comprehensive book ever published on the topic.

Inside you'll find:

  • A one-stop resource for everything you want and need to know about big-bore revolvers
  • Foreword by Dick Casull, modern big-bore revolver pioneer and father of the cartridge that carries his name--the famous .454 Casull
  • A comprehensive look at dozens of oversized cartridges, their designers and ballistics
  • Detailed descriptions of the power-house revolvers that can handle big-bore loads--even if you can't!
  • More than 250 full-color photos, highlighting cartridge comparisons, the revolvers themselves, and the big and dangerous game that are no match for the devastating power of these firearms.
  • And much, much more!

With a special look at the pioneers behind the big-bore revolution, and hunt stories as giant as the guns and cartridges themselves, this is one book every handgun lover and hunter will want to read cover to cover. Authored by big-bore revolver aficionado Max Prasac, and with collaboration from John Parker and Jack Huntington, two of the most authoritative names in big-bore revolver circles, this compendium of facts, history and first-hand experiences behind the sights fills a long-vacant niche.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is one fantastic book! Aug 14 2012

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I just received this book today and was immediately drawn in. The book is well written and the photos of the different revolvers and cartridges are second to none. The hunting stories and photos are also outstanding. Having a large collection of books pertaining to various firearms, I can say this will become an often read book. If you are a current big-bore shooter or a new shooter fascinated with the raw power of large caliber handguns, this book will draw you in. For the first time I have found a book that covers the whole gambit of the large handgun calibers and modern revolvers in one book. A must read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for any revolver fan's library!!! Aug 20 2012
By Lee Martin - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The definitive piece on big-bore handguns and hunting applications. Max Prasac does a masterful job of showing the historical progression of revolver platforms, ammunition, and shooting techniques. There's also a strong focus on the men that brought us to this point and the players that'll move these cannons forward. Central to all of this is how such evolution advanced handgun hunting.

Thoroughly written and offering numerous counterpoints, Max provides a factual and objective view of the topic. The book also weaves together many facets of big-bore revolvers not previously connected.

The content will hook you, the photography will consume you. I highly recommend "Big Bore Revolvers" by Mr. Prasac.
