More Information
NEW! When he wrote Survival Guns in 1979, Mel Tappan demonstrated that having the right weapons for securing food & providing personal defense is the key to sustaining life on an independent basis, whether or not a catastrophe occurs. This is even more true today.
Survival Guns became the standard in its own time & went through several printings. When it finally went out of print, it graduated from a classic to a sought-after collector's item, because the principles & advice in this well-reasoned volume are sound & perennially valuable. Some new guns & some new calibers have become available since this book was first published, but its principles, advice, & value remain unchanged. Having more choices only increases the value of advice on how to choose what is best for you.
As used copies of this book became harder & harder to find, Paladin received numerous requests to bring Tappan's classic back into print. We are pleased to make the most well-known survival firearms book ever published available once more to a new generation of concerned citizens facing the same threats Tappan chronicled during his lifetime. Survival Guns remains the definitive book for anyone interested in the practical use of firearms & related weapons for defense, food gathering, & predator & pest control under conditions of long-term, self-sufficient living.
