More About the Author

Mike Conti is a veteran police officer, trainer, and author.

He is also the director of Saber Group, Inc., a private training and consulting services company he founded in 1997.

In 2006, Conti formed Saber Press, a subsidiary of Saber Group, Inc., to enable him to provide critical information directly to the law enforcement and professional training communities.

"Police Pistolcraft" (released by Saber Press in 2006) and "The Officer's Guide to Police Pistolcraft" (released November 2009) are the first two offerings from Saber Press. Both are based upon the "New Paradigm of Police Firearms Training" system that Conti researched and established in 2000.

The original "Police Pistolcraft" details the reality-based New Paradigm training program from the perspective of the instructor. "The Officer's Guide" on the other hand, is intended to serve as a police pistolcraft "bible" for both the novice and veteran line officer.

Both books have been well received by the professional law enforcement and training communities.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well-written and informative, August 13, 2005
This review is from: In The Line Of Fire: A Working Cop's Guide To Pistolcraft (Paperback)
Michael Conti has written a thorough and very informative text on handguns and their tactical applications. While many handgun books are heavy on the "tactical" side and seem biased towards military and law enforcement, "Line of Fire" is written so that the average handgun owner will find it useful and not overly complicated. Another plus is the extensive coverage of revolvers, which while out of favor in the police world remain very popular among civilians. If you need a quality book to reinforce good habits and teach new ones, take a long look at "In the Line of Fire".

My only complaint is the size - it's large, thin, and easy to beat up. For manuals that will probably spend some time in a range bag, I much prefer the 8"x5" size.
