I want to buy this book. Amazon has 3rd,4th, and 5th editions available. Is one better than the other ?
When I went to look at the price of the 5th edition on Amazon I found this and bought it.
Smith & Wesson Hand Guns https://a.co/d/2faOkWO
It’s an old book (1945?) but I thought it would a cool addition to my book shelf. I can’t wait to read it.

Correct.....And each successive catalog has less and less about the older stuff.......1 & 2 are good.......wouldn't buy it but was given 3..........4 & 5.....BahhhI didn't know the 5th Ed. was in print yet. Definitely get that one, it has additions not in the 4th Ed, plus revisions. The estimated values it gives when describing a model will be current as well, instead of 8 years old. Looks like I'm gonna be in the market for a new one, too.
The catalog doesn't delete old models in favor of new. It is a compendium of everything S&W has manufactured and is the "Bible" for S&W enthusiasts.
