5.0 out of 5 stars Shotgun Training, November 9, 2006

Rusty Nail (Wichita Kansas) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: The Defensive Shotgun (Paperback)

Excellent work covering the basics of police & home-defense shotgun. Any book by Awerbuck is certain to be excellent, both entertaining and informative. He has lots of experience, and is a very logical thinker. If you're a police officer, a new 3-gun competitor, or just want to be ready to defend your family, this is a great book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Brief Overview of The Defensive Shotgun, May 19, 2007

Lodge2 (Texas) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: The Defensive Shotgun (Paperback)

Well written but overly brief overview of the defensive shotgun with ample photographs and diagrams to explain the concepts being discussed.

Awerbuck tried to cover too much territory with too little material. The table of contents shows 19 items and only 77 pages. Once you add in the photographs and blank spaces, it leaves about 2 pages per topic. That's barely enough to gloss over the subject.

This is a good book. When you consider the price, there are better ones available.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Primer on the Tactical Shotgun by a Shooting Master, September 2, 2010

Stephen C. Fogleman - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: The Defensive Shotgun (Paperback)

This is one of the first treatments of the defensive shotgun as a topic, rather than modifying a sporting shotgun. Louis Awerbuck always puts emphasis on the basics. This is no different. Since publication, there have been many defensive shotguns produced, several following this superb instructor's sage advice and experience. He has also updated the topic, sort of, with a video. His basic observation and comments may be updated by technological advance, but his wisdom and knowledge is as sound today as published in 1989 when it was "visionary."

The main importance here is Awerbuck's knowledge and advice upon which to judge the ever-changing world of technological progress and entrpreneurial invention and a foundation upon which to learn the subject matter.

2.0 out of 5 stars It's okay, but it wasn't what I thought it would be...
I don't want this to come across as an insult to the author, but this (magazine) just wasn't what I thought it would be. It's just somewhat vague and not too detailed. Read more
