A. S. Barnes, 1941. First edition. Hard cover. Very Good/Good. The true first printing, bound in green cloth with black title block. The true first printing, with no statement of later printing. "For beginner and expert; a practical manual on the handgun". (Charles Askins October 28, 1907 March 2, 1999) Charles Askins was an American lawman, U.S. Army officer, and writer. He served in the U.S. Forest Service and Border Patrol in the American Southwest prior to the Second World War, where he participated in a number of amphibious assaults in the African and European theaters of operation. While serving in uniform, Askins was involved in an untold number of gunfights, likely having killed over 50 opponents in a wide range of circumstances. An expert pistol shot, he was a two-time national champion and eventually took over as lead firearms instructor for the U.S. Border Patrol. Quite scarce in First Edition.

NY: A.S. Barnes & Co., 1941. Book. Illus. by Illustated with photos. Very Good. Hardcover. Inscribed by Author(s). Charles Askins, Jr., was an American lawman, US Army officer, and writer. He served in law enforcement -US Forest Service and Border Patrol- in the American Southwest prior to the Second World War. Askins was controversial for the relish with which he described the numerous fatal shootings in his law enforcement and military careers, stating he had killed 27 men. Because he was involved in numerous shootouts along the US - Mexico border, and due to his stated practice of not keeping track of African-Americans and Hispanics, the actual number of killings he committed was potentially much higher. Askins once remarked that he thought he was a psychopathic killer, and that he hunted animals so avidly because he was not allowed to hunt men anymore..
