NAPA, CA August 2011 – It is impossible to understand the history of modern handguns without first understanding the history of Smith & Wesson due to their numerous accomplishments. They have been an industry leader since 1852 when Smith & Wesson was first founded and continue to lead the world today with innovations into the 21st century. American Gunsmithing Institute now has a new, first run Collector’s Edition DVD release on the History of Smith & Wesson: An Interview with Roy Jinks.

In this Collector’s Edition DVD release, Gene Kelly, American Gunsmithing Institute President, sits down for an extensive interview with famed Smith & Wesson Historian Roy Jinks to bring the viewing audience the ultimate insider’s guide to the history of Smith & Wesson. Besides just having the names, dates, models and production information of Smith & Wesson products at the tip of his tongue, Jinks is a treasure trove of really interesting facts and stories about both the founders of this American firearms icon and their key employees. Jinks also discusses how and why particular guns were developed and whose ideas they really were.

Jinks shares his extensive collection of rare Smith & Wesson pistols, photos and documents in this comprehensive three and a half hour video. After watching this, YOU will be an expert on the history of Smith & Wesson as well!

Also included in this video is a private guided tour of the Smith & Wesson Factory Museum, where the viewer will see Daniel Wesson’s original office just as he left it.
