4.0 out of 5 stars
A fair guide to combat shooting if you carry a wheel gun., July 17, 2009
This review is from: Handgunner's Guide: Including The Art Of The Quick Draw And Combat Shooting (Paperback)
Even though some of the material is dated in this old classic; nevertheless, if you are into wheel guns and love historical texts on gunfighting, you will find value in this book. The photographs in this volume remind me of the kind of guns most law enforcement officers carried when I started police work. In fact, my first duty gun(Colt 38 police special)was one of the models in this book. Off duty I used to carry a Colt 38 Detective special. Most officers today use and carry semi-autos, but the author does not explore this topic in this volume. Some of the chapters in this book are: Adapting your gun, weapons for concealment, personal defense weapons, service weapons, guns for combat practice, fun guns, holsters, quick draw, and the psychology of gun fighting. In conclusion, this book is interesting because of its historical value.
Rating: 3 stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Monadnock Defensive Tactics System, MDTS).
