This book provides a clear and concise breakdown of 500 handguns and submachine guns from all over the world, including early designs and those being deployed today. The weapons are grouped into two directories: pistols and revolvers, then submachine guns. Both are organixed by country of manufacture, covering the globe from china to CzechRepublic and the United States to Egypt.

The entries each have a quick-glance statistics box, showing their technical information. Clear and vivid photography of the weapons completes each entry, giving fun enthusiasts a complete, illustrative guide for easy reference.
