Synopsis
Germany has been a foremost producer of top quality, prestigious handguns for more than a century. Designed with flair and built with precision, and unmatched technical acumen, German handguns have long since earned themselves a formidable reputation throughout the world. Two world wars added to that reputation, as did continued and consistent production in the post-war period. Ian Hogg examines the full range of handguns produced in Germany from such classics as the Luger M1908, Mauser HsC and Walther PPK, to more unusual types such as the Reichsrevolver M1879 and the Dreyse 9mm. He presents the key data (length, weight, muzzle velocity and rate of fire) for each weapon discussed and also gives its date of introduction and service record, evaluates and discusses peculiarities, and examines in detail particular strengths and weaknesses. Combining meticulous research with detailed statistical information, this is a unique reference book compiled by the foremost authority on the subject.

A fantastic reference
1. August 2005
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This book is not only a great reference to German pistols and revolvers, from the common garden varieties to the rarest of the rare. It is also extremely well written, and has provided me with hours of enjoyable browsing.
Each piece is listed with a photograph, a brief history of its development, a description of assembly and disassembly, and then a table with all of the essential statistics.
While I have no idea if this book is comprehensive, it is certainly a great resource for collectors and students of history.

German Handguns
20. Januar 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
While wide-ranging and very well written, deep coverage of the most important German handguns is sacrificed to make room for little known and inconsequential models. I have no idea whether the book lives up to its claim of completeness, but I found the sections on the Mauser C96 and Luger P-08 disappointingly superficial. The illustrations appear to have been afterthoughts and are of indifferent quality.
In all, this book is overpriced by half for what you get.

Good reference material - interesting read
30. Dezember 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Good coverage of handguns of German design and production between the years 1869-1999. Information is complete, including production number approximation where production was signficant, and picture(s) of each firearm. The supplied brief takedown descriptions would come in handy when trying to get into an unfamiliar firearm. The author provides interesting editorial comment regarding each gun's popularity and general strengths and weaknesses of design. The book's appendices are organized and useful; mostly cartridge ballistics and headstamp data. A section on Parabellum collector value based on unique variations was OK but a little out of place as beyond the scope of the book.
The photography is historical, so the quality is uneven at best. It is more than satisfactory for the intended purpose of identification. The entire book, other than a very nice color jacket, is black and white - print graphics and photography. It is always nice to see some color plates for the very rare or very popular firearms. The only glaring omission is the lack of a table of contents or a well organized and cross referenced index. The firearms appear in alpha order by manufacturer. however, someone not knowing to look under Parabellum might wonder why Lugers were not included.
Overall, I think this is a useful book that could use a little organization to make it a real gem.
