Massad F. Ayoob
Bantam Books, 1983 $7.99 ISBN 0-553-19519-0
4 1/4 " x 7" paper 417 pp.
has a few relevant chapters
39. The Shotgun for Self-Defense [presentation of a bunch of myths
about shotguns and what is reality - why this shouldn't be the
primary self-defense firearm, but it does have uses]
40. Rifles for Self-Defense [not well suited for civilian
self-defense]
41. Why a Handgun? [how it is the best suited for realistic and
likely self-defense situations]
42. Selecting a Handgun [discussion particularly of semi-auto vs.
revolvers - gun experts should use semi-autos, others will be
better served with a revolver, most likely a .38 Special firing
+P hollowpoint ammo - more discussion of calibers and ammo
types - carrying methods]
The material [in brackets] is my commentary from my book review which
I'll send on request.
