Gun Digest Book of Sig-Sauer

思っていた以上に内容がよく、嬉しく思いました。 銃の取り扱い他、GINに興味のある方、必読の書です！

Ich hatte das Buch bestellt um etwas Hintergrundinfos zu meiner X-Six zu bekommen und war dann über den Umfang des Werkes doch etwas überrascht. Neben ausführlichen Darstellungen nahezu aller SigSauer Pistolen inklusive großformatiger Abbildungen gibt es noch einen Überblick über die Firmengeschichte und mehrere Kapitel über die Bedienung, die beste Griffweise und über den Stand beim Schießen (Isosceles, Weaver, Chapman), auch ausführlich und großformatig bebildert! Gerade letzteres hat mir gut gefallen, da es doch Infos mit einem direkten Einfluss auf die Ringzahl sein könnten... Das Buch ist auf Englisch, allerdings auch mit durchschnittlichen Kenntnissen gut zu verstehen. Das Buch ist jeden der etwa 30€ wert; und für den SigSauer-Besitzer eigentlich ein Must Have...

Excellent item, quick delivery, highly recommended item and seller!

Bien documenté, bien écrit et surtout très complet, ce livre a pour auteur une référence dans le domaine des armes à feu. Le seul point négatif est le fait que les photos sont en noir et blanc: je m'attendais à une publication plus étoffée. Je le conseille aux amateurs de la firme mythique suisse Sig Sauer!

Sig Sauer has earned its reputation as the Cadillac of firearms, or at the least, of handguns. I own a few myself and they are among my most prized. I wish I could own them all - but short of a winning lottery ticket that is unlikely. I can read about them all though, it wonderfully descriptive detail that is interesting and engaging to the casual gun enthusiast and master gunsmith alike. This is due to the style of the author - Massad Ayoob. I will confess that I am predisposed to think everything that Mr. Ayoob writes is worthy of stone tablets. I have been reading his articles, columns, and books since the early 1980's. So, please forgive my bias and consider it as may be appropriate. This Digest of the Sig Sauer line of handguns takes the reader on an insider's tour through the company, the manufacturing facility and process, and the Academy where Sig Sauer trains law enforcement, military, and civilian alike (and yes, I have a pin in a map to indicate "someday soon"). Ayoob talks about the rich history of the brand and its iconic models (like the P226) and brings up to today's newest products like the .45 ACP P227. There are even chapters about models that I embarrassingly admit little previous knowledge of. The material is laid out well, with a good flow and a blend of past and present that keeps this book from becoming just a dry reference manual - a trap that many such books fall into. Massad Ayoob, ever the practitioner, demonstrates in words and copious photos the practical uses and applications of these guns, and talks about real world experience whether it be how reliable the gun is, or how comfortable it might be to carry - and what gear is best used to do so. If you love Sig Sauer pistols, then this book is likely a no-brainer, as it was for me when I pre-ordered it. But it is also a highly recommended read for the casual shooter, those who appreciate quality firearms, and those who would like to expand their knowledge and interest. Be warned though - this book can easily become a catalog of wish-list items!!
