This book succinctly explains revolving firearms (even to include rifles and proto-machineguns such as the Gatling) made on the basis of concepts covered by British patents issued during the timeframe 1865 to 1888, said bracket starting with the expiry of the Robert Adams patent and the dawn of the breechloading cartridge arm, and ending with the beginning of the era of the Webley .455 Mark I hinge-frame service revolver and FWIW, smokeless powder ammunition. As has been noted by the prior reviewer, most American readers will not be familiar with many of these revolvers.
This detailed history of Remington's role in the development of military weapons is the result of twenty-five years of research of the company's records and military archives.
Excerpt from Modern American Pistols and Revolvers: An Account of the Development of Pistols and Revolvers in America The first edition of Modern American Pistols and Revolvers was published in 1888. At that time there was but little general knowledge of the capabilities of the pistol or the revolver. A general impression pre vailed that there was little or no accuracy in the arms, or if they were accurate, those manipulating them skill fully were specially gifted. The publication of the first edition showed the great accuracy and reliability of certain arms, and made it apparent that to become skillful in manipulating them-was only a matter of practice. This stimulated many devotees of shooting to attempt to acquire a proficiency. As a result, at the time of writing there are expert pistol and revolver shots in various sections of the country; and as the shooting world has no national confines, this statement may be applied to many parts of the world.
