Hints on the Use and Handling of Firearms Generally, and the Revolver in Particular

"Hints on the Use and Handling of Firearms Generally, and the Revolver in Particular" by Lieut. H. Onslow Curling, C.L.A.B. is a late 19th-century handbook, published in 1885, that doubles as a protective lesson and a set of instructions. It aims at both soldiers and common people, offering information on how to handle guns carefully, especially revolvers. Curling's main point is how important it is to be safe and correct when using guns. The book looks at different kinds of weapons, paying close attention to military revolvers, and gives clear steps for how to carry, aim, and shoot. By sharing actual stories and what he learned in the military, Curling drives home the need for good training and understanding when dealing with guns, offering a collection of methods that blends the past with useful tips for new and experienced shooters alike.
