Book Description
Interest in cowboy action shooting and Old West reenactment has skyrocketed, and spawned tremendous growth in the field of replica firearms; the "cowboy action club" is 55,000 members strong. Unfortunately, there hasn't been much information available on these replicas - until now! Guns of the New West gives readers comprehensive information on the gun they own or are thinking about buying. No Old West enthusiast will want to go without this guide. Providing historical information on the original gun, the book discusses the pros and cons of the replica, with detailed photos of the inside of the replica and an explanation of disassembly and reassembly, as well as instructions on how to make minor repairs. More than 20 handguns, rifles and shotguns are covered, with a review of available ammunition and information on accuracy and reloading. This heavily illustrated guide is the most comprehensive book available on the subject. -Discussion of pros and cons of more than 20 Old West replica firearms -Heavily illustrated with photos of the inside of each gun -Provides instruction on assembly/disassembly and minor repairs

 Guns oF The New West January 1, 2008
Great book for the CAS crowd. Only problem I can find with it is that it is a bit outdated. Lots of new stuff out there now. I know the new stuff gets reviewed in monthly magazines etc. It is nice to have it all in one place though. Other than that the book is excellent. Authors usual good work.

If you are involved in collecting replica firearms then this book is a must.Detailed analysis of each Old West gun and rifle. I enjoyed the report on the Colt.45 SAA and Winchester type lever action. Entire book is in black and white except for four pages in color. Wish they had published more color photos. A must have for replica collectors.

Looking for a new gun for SASS or just to have fun in the style of the old west? This is the book you need before you run out and put down the bucks. Doesn't cover all the guns of choice but does present a good selection (It should include the new Henry Repeating Arms Big Boy but doesn't).
This will also make a good addition to your old west library.

For those contemplating entering the popular ever growing COWBOY ACTION SHOOTING sport, Chicoine's new book is the best I've seen too date. This reknowned gunsmith/writer gives you a wealth of facts on the popular firearms of that period and moves right into the modern offerings and clones of those original firearms with outstanding details and thoughts on each.
He covers the most popular handguns, percussion & cartridge,Colts,S&W's,Remington, Starr and others,the popular and most used rifles in the same thorough style, and shotgun too. I doubt you'll have many questions left to answer if you read this one, about making personal choices.
The book reeks with QUALITY,the book is filled with absolutely wonderful photographs of original firearms, clones,new offerings,leather goods for them,a color photo section that is breathtaking.
He then combines all this with a bit of history on the CAS sport, ammunition available for these, tests with the new guns & ammo,lovely photos of CAS shooters right up to the latest items just coming onto the market like the Colt Lightning slide action rifle.
If this great book doesn't "fire you up" to get into this wonderful sport or for your own at "home" shooting ,nothing will.
Daves books always seem to "come out" of the box being "classics" before they get around, This one is no different. The best I've seen on this topic to date.
