"The Modern Pistol and How to Shoot It" by Walter Winans is a practical guide on modern pistol shooting techniques, written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the transition from revolver shooting to the more contemporary automatic pistol, providing instruction and safety guidance for aspiring shooters. Winans, an experienced marksman and competitive shooter, emphasizes the effectiveness of automatic pistols over revolvers and shares his insights on developing shooting skills. At the start of the work, Winans reflects on the changing landscape of firearm usage, noting that revolvers are now considered obsolete except for certain niche applications. He stresses the importance of proper training and safety measures, warning against the dangers of mishandling firearms by novices. Additionally, he critiques the existing approaches to teaching pistol shooting, advocating for more engaging and practical methods that enhance skill development. Winans sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of automatic pistol shooting, addressing both the mechanics of the firearm and the vital responsibilities of the shooter.
