BigBore Revolvers Max Prasac Books Reviews
- This book covers revolvers like no other book I have ever read. Moreover, it covers ammunition related to revolvers in a comprehensive way that few books (even books specific to reloading) can boast. Add to all this the entertaining and informative stories of real world hunting (and self defense against animal) situations and you have what can only be referred to as a modern masterpiece.
I've been shooting revolvers and reloading for years. That said, I learned more from this book than I ever imagined. I guess you don't know - what you don't know - until someone comes along and explains it to you.
I honestly can't say enough good things about "Big-Bore Revolvers". If you're a Hand-loader that likes to shoot revolvers - this book is a MUST READ. - If you are at all interested in big bore revolvers, this is THE book for you. The author does an excellent job of covering the calibers and the guns themselves. There are chapters on "off the rack" guns as well as custom guns. I particularly liked his treatment of the various cartridges, starting with the .357 (the first "magnum" cartridge) all the way up to the .500 Alaskan. Included in this discussion are shooting impressions that give you an idea as to the amount and character of the recoil. His descriptions are spot-on regarding the calibers I have personally shot. There are some minor editing problems (such as the caption under the picture of the Colt Anaconda), but these are few and minor and not unexpected with a first edition. There are in-depth discussions on bullet types and penetration, and chapters of hunting stories and stories of self-defense situations with big bore handguns vs. dangerous four-legged critters. The one area I would like to see expanded is the chapter on holsters. Other than that, it is a superbly written and superbly illustrated reference work on the subject.
- I am not able to train as hard as I need to to always operate a semi at peak efficiency. I also find that carrying the semi in anything other than the specific holster /rig can lead to problems. I also find the occasional problem with ammunition presents more of problem with the semiautomatic. This makes a revolver and specifically a short (relative to use) barreled one my pistol of choice. This book gave me new information and reinforced what I learned when I carried on the job as a DFWO.
- The definitive piece on big-bore handguns and hunting applications. Max Prasac does a masterful job of showing the historical progression of revolver platforms, ammunition, and shooting techniques. There's also a strong focus on the men that brought us to this point and the players that'll move these cannons forward. Central to all of this is how such evolution advanced handgun hunting.
Thoroughly written and offering numerous counterpoints, Max provides a factual and objective view of the topic. The book also weaves together many facets of big-bore revolvers not previously connected.
The content will hook you, the photography will consume you. I highly recommend "Big Bore Revolvers" by Mr. Prasac.

[...] - Basically, an excellent coverage of our Big Bore Revolvers. Only one mistake I have found, page 58, upper portion of page has photos of the Taurus Judge with the Colt Anaconda below it. The heading for the Taurus Judge is correct. However, the caption for the "Judge" has been repeated for the Anaconda, a huge error! Because I have and think highly of the Colt Anaconda, I wish the author had provided a little more history and background for this great revolver. All in all, the author has filled a void and provided us who are revolver adicts with some much overdue information.
- Max Prasic knows about what he wrights. He is not only a writer but is also a shooter. Max brings his skills in both areas to us in a well organized manner introducing us to the great big-Bore revolvers builders. Included in the book are the manufacture revolvers and information of their development.
To those of us who are Big-Bore enthuses get to see friend and their revolvers. We see revolvers we have handled and had the opportunity to shoot; we also see revolvers we would like to have.
