"Hints on the Use and Handling of Firearms Generally, and the Revolver in Particular" by Lieut. H. Onslow Curling, C.L.A.B. is a practical guide on the safe and effective use of firearms written during the late 19th century, specifically in 1885. This work serves both as an instructional manual and a cautionary text, targeting military personnel and civilians alike who are interested in learning about the responsible handling of firearms, particularly revolvers. In this treatise, Curling emphasizes the importance of safety and precision when using firearms. He discusses various types of weapons, with a significant focus on the military revolver, and provides detailed instructions on carrying, aiming, and shooting techniques. The book addresses common risks and accidents associated with firearms usage, urging the reader to adopt careful practices to prevent mishaps. Curling illustrates through anecdotes and observations from military experiences the necessity of training and knowledge in handling firearms, presenting a compendium of techniques that combine historical context with practical advice for both novice and experienced shooters.
