From the dust jacket... It is now more than 100 years since Elmer Keith developed a keen interest in handguns. As the decades became a part of the past, Elmer Keith was recognized as a great shot on the range and in the field and the leading pistol and revolver authority in the land. It is very likely that he burned more gunpowder than any man living today. Extensive experiments were conducted in arms design and with ammunition. His bullets and loads, the result of these efforts, are still in common use today. Many friends, not the least of whom was Judge Don Martin of Salmon, Idaho, prevailed upon Elmer Keith to produce a major opus sharing his vast knowledge of handguns and shooting techniques. Sixguns is the answer to this demand. From the Back Cover... Elmer Keith"s boyhood mentors were Indian fighters, vigilantes, lawmen and gun fighters of a passing frontier. In his lifetime, he was recognized as a great shot and the leading pistol authority in the land. Sixguns contains his experiences, findings, recommendations and instructions. Table of Contents...
