This video is a book review of George Layman's "Communist Bloc Handguns," an overview of Cold War pistols from various Eastern Bloc countries. The reviewer notes that while the book provides a good single-stop reference for basic handguns of the era, its 157 pages necessitate a brief level of detail on each firearm. It's recommended for the "idly curious" and as a handy reference for understanding variations, particularly with Tokarev pistols, but lacks in-depth information on rare variations, production totals, or developmental details. The reviewer also mentions the book contains personal anecdotes rather than formal research and finds the $39.95 price point a bit high given the content, but acknowledges limited alternatives for those interested in the Cold War period.
This video is a book review focusing on "The Military Remington Rolling Block Rifle" by George Layman. The description highlights the rifle's historical significance as a durable and reliable firearm used by militaries worldwide in the late 1800s. It notes the difficulty collectors face in identifying specific origins due to a lack of markings. The review discusses Layman's book as a valuable resource for identifying different models, nationalities, and cartridges, and recommends his newer, more comprehensive work on the subject.
