3.0 out of 5 stars THE GUNFIGHTERS PRIMER, April 30, 2008
This review is from: Quick Or Dead (Paperback)
Cassidy's treatment on gunfighting is an excellent primer and an important historical text on pistolcraft. This book is the overall combined effort and experience of many combative and pistol experts of the time like Fairbairn, Sykes, Applegate, Askins, Cooper and Jordan; a lot of perspectives are detailed in this book.

Today there is lot of disputes over "point shooting", the topic can get as hot as what the best pistol round is; 9mm or 45 caliber. With that I am not recommending point shooting over other methods, but it always wise to be aware and familiar with other techniques in your bag of tricks as a professional gunfighter.

This book is divided into two distinct sections. The first section is the longer of the two and deals with pistolcraft; techniques of fire and close quarters shooting. Also covered throughout this section is information about pistol traditions, combat methods and various personalities of the time. In the seconded section titled "practice" the author offers courses of fire in combat shooting.

Overall I found this book to be an important historical text worth to be studied by today's modern gunfighters.
