Greetings all! I'm looking for help in finding a few good books with diagrams and explanations of the internal parts and their functions in revolvers and auto pistols. I'm near totally ignorant of the mechanisms inside handguns. I know the name of a handful of parts, but wouldn't recognize them if they fell into my lap.
I know a lot of guys on this site work on guns as a hobby and/or are gunsmiths. You guys should be able to recommend some good books. I'm not so much interested in working on my guns. I'm primarily interested in understanding the names of the parts, mechanisms, and how they operate. My interest is solely in pistols. Rudimentary book suggestions are certainly welcome. Maybe rudimentary repair books?
It would be nice to be able to form a mental picture of what's going on inside my guns when I view and shoot them.
Any and all suggestions would be appreciated.
Danko--
