Chic Gaylord (1914-1992) was famous across the country for the holsters that he hand-made in his shop on the west side of New York City. Equally well known for his speed and accuracy with many types of handguns, he demonstrated his prowess in public exhibitions and on television shows. His tips and advice on guns, holsters and ammunition evoked grateful praise from scores of police officers and interested citizens. The essence of Gaylord's accumulated hand-gun wisdom is distilled between the covers of this book.
