About The Author
“So, given my almost four decades of experience writing about, collecting, and shooting what I think are some of the greatest guns in the world, I thought, what about putting together a list of my personal “Fabulous Fifty Firearms,” a hand’s-on book that doesn’t focus on out-of-reach museum pieces, but on popular guns that can be obtained, new or used, by any qualifying law-abiding reader with a valid credit card.” —Rick Hacker
