The Handgun Story traces the history of the 'one hand gun' from its fourteenth-century origins to the products of today. The earliest pistols had a tendency to misfire, but this was cured by the cap-lock. Cap-lock revolvers proved a success in the American Civil War with hundreds of thousands used on each side. Self-contained metal-case cartridges
