Anyone heard of it or read it? Someone recommended I read it, but when I tried my google-fu I barely found anything. I couldn't find anything specifically saying it was out of print though. Anybody know more than me?

No I haven't.

But when I saw the title, I thought 'Its like the Iron Maiden, except easier to get into.'

I literally laughed out loud; nice. Apparently it's a fictional biography of Jim Bowie(creator of the Bowie knife), but that's about all I know. So weapons are involved in some way...

Per Amazon, it was published in 1951. Search Amazon by the title, not the author's name. They have multiple copies available, starting at $1.59 for hardback.
