Since 1944, Gun Digest has been informing gun owners about the history and engineering of firearms. Both cloth editions in this boxed set collect articles published throughout the periodical's history, and the expert commentary is paired with the original black and white illustrations. Classic Combat Handguns covers such weapons as the Colt 45, Luger P08, and Glock 17, while Classic American Combat Rifles discusses the guns used in the Revolution, the Civil War, World War II, and Vietnam.
