A good book on concealed carry. Good focus on guns that make for good concealment.

Very good, and written by an old hand at this. Expert advice, given clearly. I would highly recommend this one to any person that carries a self-defense firearm.

I have never carried a concealed handgun before, but I am now seriously thinking about getting some training and then getting a permit to carry a concealed handgun. So, I am now educating myself on the subject. Before you buy this book you should know that the author firmly believes .32 and .380 caliber handguns are inadequate for personal defense, so he does not cover guns of those calibers. I am not saying he is wrong, but you should know this before you buy the book.
As far as the content goes, there is one thing I did not like about this book: There are lots of photos of handguns throughout the book, but the photos are not well organized with the text. In other words, if you are reading a paragraph about a particular gun, the photo of the gun - assuming there is one - is not necessarily located near the text. You have to "hunt around" for the photo, which might or might not be on another page. Also, instead of just referencing the photos within the main text, each photo has its own separate text. To me, this makes reading the book very laborious.
The are three separate chapters for "small", "medium" and "large" revolvers and another three for "small", "medium" and "large" semiautomatics. If the point of the book is about "concealed" handguns, why even cover large handguns? I quit reading this book about half-way through. Overall, this book was a waste of time and money for me. There are probably better books about this subject.

I recently obtained my CCW permit. After spending about $1,000 on pistols that don't fill my need, I purchased one of the recommended pistols. I just wish I had read this book sooner.
The book discusses everything you need to know about your purchase of a concealed weapon.
Good review of different firearms June 4, 2005

The book's title is exactly what it is a review of different gun types. It is not a guide for usage or concealed carry. However, how appropriate a particular gun is for concealed carry is covered.
