| Summary | "The Modern American Pistol and Revolver" by Arthur Corbin Gould is a comprehensive examination of contemporary firearms, specifically focusing on American-made pistols and revolvers, written in the late 19th century. The work delves into the mechanics, designs, and capabilities of various models, alongside discussions on ammunition and shooting techniques. The author aims to educate readers about the evolving precision and reliability of modern firearms compared to their historical predecessors. The opening of this treatise outlines the author's personal journey from skepticism about the accuracy of pistols and revolvers to a firm belief in their capabilities, bolstered by extensive experimentation and observations. Gould reflects on the lack of reliable documentation regarding the performance of these firearms and promises to rectify this with a detailed account of their specifications, functioning, and practical use in shooting sports. He emphasizes that the modern American firearm has undergone significant advancements in craftsmanship and efficiency, making them suitable for both defense and recreational shooting.
