569 pages on what? Every M1911A1 I held in 24 years in the Corps was of WW II manufacture or earlier. Is this including revolvers and match guns?

I received my copy of the book. I decided to purchase it based on the recommendation of a friend and fellow collector. I must say that it's really a well done historical record of what the U.S. military has used in pistol form post WW II. I found it to be quite interesting. It starts out with post WW II 1911A1's and goes up through the Beretta 9MM's and up to 2011 when the SPEC OPS groups started to favor H&K's and other types. It also has a brief history of the U.S. forces marksmanship program, with many interesting photos of the Springfield Armory .45 match pistols fabricated for the Army pistol team and pictures of the matches. I enjoyed that since I shot bullseye pistol during the the 70's and 80's.

Overall, a good book well worth $100 for the serious collector and historian of U.S. martial arms.
