Book Description
Why would Paladin Press reprint a 70-year-old Colt firearm catalog that doesn't contain a single AR-15 rifle, M4 carbine or stainless-steel pistol? Because A Century of Achievement is far more than just a catalog of products; it's a unique insight into Colt's celebration of its first 100 years as a firearms manufacturer. By perusing the guns in these pages and taking a guided tour through the 1930s manufacturing plant in Hartford, Connecticut, you will gain a new appreciation for the exceptional materials and craftsmanship that went into the firearms that built Colt's reputation. As an additional bonus, the catalog includes a personal shooting lesson from Col. Charles Askins, legendary Border Patrol officer, soldier and expert shot. Original copies of A Century of Achievement sell for hundreds of dollars today. Now, this quality reprint edition is available for collectors, historians, Colt aficionados and anyone who wants a glimpse into one company's influence on an entire nation.

Book Description
First used in combat during the Punitive Expedition into Mexico and then extensively during the world wars, the Colt Government Model (1911) pistol remained the standard issue handgun in the US armed forces for nearly 80 years and has continued in service with some units to this day. In fact, the M1911 has seen a resurgence amongst US Special Operations units as US Marine MARSOC and MEUSOC personnel are issued current generation 1911-type pistols. In addition the pistol has seen service with famous law enforcement agencies such as the Shanghai Municipal Police, LAPD Swat and Texas Rangers. Nearly a century after its introduction, the M1911 pistol remains a popular design and is now produced by virtually every major firearms manufacturer doing business in the USA.

Book Description
"The series of books entitled "The machine gun" was begun with the belief that the next best thing to actual knowledge is knowing where to find it. The research summarized within the covers of these volumes has been compiled by the Bureau of Ordinance, Department of the Navy, in order to place in the hands of those rightfully interested in the art of automatic weapon design, the world's recorded progress in this field of endeavor."--Vol. II, p. v.

Book Description
"Here is a book for the historian, the student, the gun collector or aficionado. . . . It approaches understatement to call Guns on the Early Frontiers an outstanding contribution to firearms literature. It sets its own standard."--New York Times. "A Glossary of Gun Terms, ample footnotes most skillfully arranged and illustrations beyond the dreams of avarice complement the text, which achieves the miracle of scholarship without tedium."--W.H. Hutchinson, San Francisco Chronicle. "Not the least interesting portions of the book are the notes and glossary and the excellent bibliography. Here [is] a book designed primarily for the serious collector or gun historian, but whose readable style should appeal even to the casual amateur. The collecting of old guns, whether privately or by a public institution, involves a certain responsibility. These guns, whose history is inextricably linked with the history of settlement, require something more than careful preservations. They require--and the present volume goes far to supply--accurate documentation."--Canadian Historical Review. Carl P. Russell, a leading authority on firearms of the American frontier, was coordinator of planning for the science and history museums and other interpretive facilities of the National Park Service in the Western United States.
