In the world of handguns, there is an incredible amount of nonsense that is held up as solemn truth.

Noted gun expert Duane Thomas examines many of the myths surrounding the Colt .45 auto, the "King of the Combat Handguns", the hype surrounding handgun stopping power; the truth about Alvin York's incredible World War I firefight (as well as a similar but lesser known incident in the 1970's); the answers to the questions, "Are revolvers dead?" and "Just how good is the .40 Smith & Wesson Cartridge?"; the arguments both for and against high capacity auto pistols; the real deal on those hard to shoot double action pistols, as well as some common arguments about handguns that are based more on emotion than logic. The truth about Handguns is sure to provoke thought, discussion and argument amongst gun enthusiasts everywhere.
