BOOK SUMMARY

Heckler & Koch arose from humble beginnings out of the devastation of post-Second World War Germany. The three founding members – Edmund Heckler, Theodor Koch, and Alexius (Alex) Seidel – who had once worked for the proud and historic Mauser company in Oberndorf am Neckar, Germany, were driven to bring achievement and prosperity back to the Neckar Valley. Working within the confines of post-war armament restrictions, they formed the fledgling company together in 1949, with Seidel as an unnamed junior partner. Their manufacturing efforts began small, making parts for a wide range of everyday items like sewing machines. Yet soon, with the reformation of German security and military forces, their ingenuity and focus were shifted back to weapons manufacturing, with the G3 rifle becoming their first product.

This First Volume of Vickers Guide: Heckler & Koch is dedicated to the history of Heckler & Koch handguns and showcases their creative and often revolutionary efforts, from those early years to present day. Through multiple visits to the illustrious Heckler & Koch “Gray Room” and a number of private collections, the authors of this book have been able to assemble a comprehensive survey spanning the history of Heckler & Koch pistol production – from the lightweight multi-caliber HK4 to the roller-delayed blowback P9S, from the striker-fired polymer-framed VP70 to the piston-delayed squeeze cocker P7, and across the wide range of modern polymer frame pistols with the USP, P2000, HK45, P30, and VP9.

Featuring 100 different pistols, Vickers Guide: Heckler & Koch (Volume 1) gives the reader a once-in-a-lifetime glimpse into some of the most significant Heckler & Koch pistols produced throughout its long and distinguished history. For the production of this book, Larry Vickers and James Rupley have teamed up with renowned firearms instructor and HK expert James Williamson of Teufelshund Tactical, as well as a number of other subject matter experts, whose cumulative insights allow for an extraordinary and unparalleled presentation.
