I'll give credit where credit is due. RogueJSK has assisted me quite a bit with recommendations. I wouldn't have known where to start without his input.

I've picked up a dozen or more non-fiction firearms-related books over the past 2 months, and I'm soaking em up. I know I'll move back to the fiction at some point.

But in the meantime, MAN, these collectors grade publications, and other similar works are KNOWLEDGE-RICH. Dry as fuck at times LOL. but knowledge rich.

Do yall have any favorites? I'd love to get my wish list built up even more after this months spending spree.

would be helpful to know what you already have,

Guns, Bullets, and Gunfights: Lessons and Tales from a Modern-Day Gunfighter
Jim Cirillo

No Second Place Winner
Bill Jordan

Dillon: A Memoir: A Life of Warbirds, Reloaders & Machine Guns
Michael and Carol Dillon

The Guns of John Moses Browning: The Remarkable Story of the Inventor Whose Firearms Changed the World
by Nathan Gorenstein

The AK 47

"Hell, I was there" Elmer Keith.

The Mosin-Nagant Rifle
Terence W. Lapin


PC

One of my favorites is Hatcher's Notebook by Gen. Julian Hatcher. A variety of articles on Army weapons and ballistic testing. Includes investigating 03 Springfield action failures and terminal ballistic testing on pigs.
Not exactly firearms, The Bat Bomb by Jack Couffer. The WW II secret project to develop incendiary devices to attach to bats and drop on Japan. It sounds like fiction,but it was a real project with presidential approval involving biologists, the air corp, and army chemists.

The Book of Two Guns by Tiger McKee. It's actually hand-written notes that McKee took over his many years of training, both on the learning side and teaching side.

The two guns are the 1911 and AR, but the book covers lessons about gunfighting in general. It's only available in softcover.

The Rifle: Combat Stories from America's Last WWII Veterans, Told Through an M1 Garand

Black, that sounds like an interesting read. I’ll look for that one also.

This is the humble collection so far, K-frame book from Collectors Grade is en route.



Thank you all for your suggestions. I’ll add some of those to my wishlist Rogue filled up for me

Here is some of my books on small arms. I have got lots more on military weapons and warfare on jet fighters, tanks, ships, subs, etc.
