I first read Fast and fancy revolver Shooting in 1973. Serious revolver buffs recognize Ed McGiverns accomplishment. While his style may not pass an english test,I've never met an English teacher that could shoot like Mr. McGivern.

Ed McGivern's book "Fast and Fancy Revolver Shooting" is the book you're looking for if you want to learn to shoot. Ed McGivern was amazing, and I believe he still has records that are unbeaten. You'll see the "Taylor Speed Rock", the "Ayoob Wedge", and other tactics since named by egomaniacs who would lead you to beleive they invented them, this book was written in the late 1920s prior to most of these guys being born.

Written prior to WWII this book may seam dated but remember that most of the revolvers in use today where introduced in the first third of the 20th century. Ed McGivern was not an author, he was a showman. One of the best hands with a gun who ever lived. His writing style is a bit run on but the book is well worth the read. Mr. McGivern tells how to train yourself to be accurate, fast and fancy with a revolver. It's going to keep me practising for years.
Difficult reading, but absolutely worth the effort. October 8, 1999

This is one of the greatest books on revolver shooting ever written. The use of run-on sentences and the redundancy make for difficult reading, but Mr. McGivern discusses every last minute detail with respect to equipment and technique. Jerry Miculek may be as fast on man targets, but McGivern's aerial target shooting, hip shooting ability and fanning of the Colt SAA make him the undisputed king. Long live the revolver, and long live the memory of Ed McGivern.
If your bored with regular targets than this book's for you. July 2, 1999

This book was originally written around 1930 +/- and republished in 12/97. The author doesn't look like a "gun slinger" but his speed tests and aerial shooting displays are incredible. After reading this book just going out plinking will never be the same. I had reached a plateau with pistol shooting and needed new challenges. This book has given me many years of new challenges to try. If you can even partially relate to what I've said then you'll never regret getting this book. Besides the price is very good.
