From author:

In this volume, I propose to show two different pistol (or handgun) designs which can be manufactured in the home workshop.

One of these designs is for a semi-automatic pistol, and the other describes a fallingblock single shot pistol. The first one is of necessity limited somewhat by the cartridge size it must use. My second, single shot design will handle just about any cartridge that is practical to use in a hand- held firearm, provided proper steels and heat-treatment methods are used.

While it is entirely practical to make a revolver in the home workshop if proper equipment is available, I have not included a revolver design in this book. Without professional training and equipment, it is very difficult to hand-build a revolver cylinder that will index and lock up properly.

As with the submachine gun, probably the most difficult part to make for the semiautomatic gun is the clip or magazine. So if possible, a suitable magazine should be obtained or manufactured first, and the frame of the gun then built around it..
