Readers have commented that the new 9th edition has somewhere between a whole lot more and twice the information and might make earlier editions obsolete.
All we can say is we sincerely hope not, because the earlier editions are still full of useful information - The 9th edition just has a whole lot more.
Bench edition - 222 pages.
Be sure to see the new Volume II on the U.S. M1911 & M1911A1 Pistols & commercial M1911 type pistols in this catalog. This 100% brand new manual is the 2nd volume in the Jerry Kuhnhausen .45 Auto series.
This incredible book is literally chock full of new and updated practical and technical information. A jam packed reference - typical of Kuhnhausen's M1 & M14 service rifle manual. The new Volume 2 adds a wealth of information to, but does not replace Kuhnhausen's original Volume 1, shown above.
