By Peter Kasler. Popularized by the media as the "all-plastic gun," the "terrorist special" and the "gun that can pass undetected through airport security systems," the Glock pistol is actually none of these. Since its debut in 1985, the Glock has been the subject of considerable controversy. What are the advantages of Polymer 2, the "space-age" plastic of which many of its parts are made? How many different Glock models are there, and what calibers are they offered in? Does the Glock's light weight make it "kick" more than a heavier gun? How safe is its unique "safe-action" trigger system - does it increase the chance of accidental discharge? In this book, the author debunks the myths, lays to rest the rumors and, through photos of a special cutaway Glock that clearly display its inner mechanisms, demystifies the design and operations of what is the most innovative handgun to be introduced in some time - and possibly in the history of firearms. 5.5 X 8.5, hardcover, photos, illust., 304 pp, $25 (GLOCK)(1015) POWERHOUSE PISTOLS - The Colt 1911 and Browning Hi-Power Sourcebook.

Combatants, collectors and hunters interested in practical considerations such as price, performance and availability will benefit from the author's straightforward discussions on internal mechanisms, outward design, test- firing results, maintenance and accessories. 8.5 X 11, softcover, photos, 152 pp, $20 (PISTOL)(848) .45 ACP SUPER GUNS - Modified .45 Autos for Competition, Hunting, and Personal Defense.

Morrison & Jeff Cooper This book offers peace of mind. It teaches the modern pistol technique perfected over the past thirty years through the efforts of Jeff Cooper and his staff at American Pistol Institute.

Actuality, marksmanship is just the LAST step in a long list of means to an end. The best marksman in the world can be defeated if he has not prepared his mind, instilled correct management skills and given sufficient thought and training time to TACTICS. Thus, the emphasis of THE MODERN TECHNIQUE OF THE PISTOL is on mind-set first, gunhandling second, and marksmanship last.

This book will help to prepare you for deadly confrontations. Tactics is the next important thing to learn - what to do under various conditions and circumstances. Marksmanship is critical, of course, but the first two are more important because if you flunk the first two steps, you may never get a chance to fire your weapon!
