After the dominance of the plastic construction of grips for semi-automatic magazine-fed handguns, which emerged worldwide in the wake of Glock, a kind of countermovement has set in: there is an increasing return to versions with lower parts made of steel and/or aluminium. Why this is so is the subject of the booklet, as is an in-depth look at the major pistol families in this field. It begins with an introduction that provides an overview of the development up to the present day. It continues with articles on the 1911s, the CZ 75 versions, the SIG-Sauer models and those of the Beretta brand, as well as the Walther innovations, which enrich this field with all-steel versions with firing pin locks and thus combine the mechanics typical of the polymer field with more traditional materials.
Furthermore: Exotics, Magnum and luxury pieces, tips on buying second-hand, basic tuning - and also something brand new from Janz. Everything with a look at model families, history, technology, function and practice.
