Got the Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson

[Chief's Special]

Shucks. Didn't know about the 4th ed. Just ordered the 3rd ed before I read this. But hey, it'll be a good read and it was only $26 with free shipping.

Which edition. I personally like the new 4th one better. Its got even more color photos than the 3rd that most people are raving about. And I still have and use my first ed. and 2nd.

There is no 4th Edition. The 3nd Edition is the latest....and an excellent book.

Spoilsport! The more calls to Supica, the better the chances are that we'll get a 4th. There are times when I feel I'm a lone crusader, out fighting for the 4th. As I was on the 2nd and 3rd. Come on people, just because Supica is switching jobs is no reason for him to lie down on the more important one!

Just shows that you can't trust some people and there information here. I'm glad I re-read the post her before making an A** out of my self. No matter what the reason.

I just picked up a "used" copy that looks like it was never opened. You realize how little you actually know. Congrats on your purchase, happy reading. Joe

The other side of this coin is that if you've got the opportunity to buy one of a couple of used copies, buy the one with handwritten notes in all the margins!!

Or you could luck out and get one signed by Jim.

I wonder if now, he'd be more available to sign my first and second editions?

I tried looking for a second, first edition- they are impossible to find!

I found a 1st edition at a Memphis gunshow (of all places) for only $5. I bought it quick-like-a-bunny. I now have the full set on my bookshelf

. I like seeing the names of people I know from this forum in them. The 3rd of course is clearly a much improved effort from the first two. Many many hours of enjoyment.

I purchased a 1st edition last week. I did a search on google and it came up on a book company by the name of ALIBRIS Books. I paid 25.70 after a discount for being a new customer.
