Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson by Jim Supica, Richard Nahas (2007)

Nice heavy hardcover book with tons of info. I was able to look up what I needed in less than a minute. Book is a price guide not only for guns , but the stocks, manuals & boxes as well.

If you want to collect, shoot or just are interested in learning everything you'd ever want to know about Smith & Wesson handguns and products; BUY THIS BOOK.

From the earliest days to recent S&W products, the pictures and in-depth descriptions leave no stone unturned in the pursuit of knowledge about one of the worlds greatest handguns. The authors are lifelong S&W devotees collectors and historians and present a passionate and deep study of all S&W guns in a very easy to pour-over reference type format.

The price guide will put you in the ballpark, but alas, real world prices always seem to be higher.

Techinical details and anecdotes on each and gun are wonderful. Studying the pictures and comparison photos between model revisions combined with the authors intelligent, careful and sometimes whimsical take at a great American historic firearms company, will certainly make you enjoy this book, but with greater study, quite possibly will make you an expert on the subject.
