I shoot Peacemakers and most of the Colt Percussion pistols and am always hungry for information on them. I've found that most weapons books can fall into one of two unsatisfying categories: books devoid of illustration that descend into a level of detail that is dry and boring or books that are lavishly illustrated but suffer from sufficient text. Dean Boorman's book is a nice marriage of text and pictures laid out in an interesting way that explains the Colt phenomenon in a concise and filling way. If you like these old guns or shoot the replicas, this is a book you'll really like and want to have on the shelf.
