5.0 out of 5 stars A good introduction to autoloading pistols, June 19, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Semi-Automatic Pistol in Police Service and Self Defense (Paperback)
I read this book in the late 80s when I was first getting into autoloading pistols. It taught me a lot and made me a believer in the tactical superiority of the autoloader. While the book is written for law enforcement officials looking to make a change to autoloaders, it will help the law-abiding private citizen as well make a better selection when shopping for one of these fine weapons. Ayoob is one of the better firearms instructors working today. His insight and advice are thought-provoking and challenging.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good introduction to the autoloader pistol, May 13, 2003
By 
This review is from: Semi-Automatic Pistol in Police Service and Self Defense (Paperback)
Very much a knife, fork spoon book on shooting. Very well written by one of the best in the field.

Ayoob gives the reasons for a police department switching to the semi-automatic pistol. The advantages and disadvantages of the pistol and revolver are reviewed. While the arguments are aimed at the police officer they would also apply to the person looking for a personal defense sidearm.

As always a pleasure to read and very useful. If you want practical information this is a good book for you cop or civilian.
