5.0 out of 5 stars A good introduction to autoloading pistols, June 19, 2000
By A Customer
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 "hbsvt" (Vermont) - See all my reviews
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reading, Very highly recommended for desk pukes, March 12, 1999
By A Customer
This is another very good book, condenses alot of knowledge and explains why the autoloader is indeed the better sidearm for officers, (and firepower IS NOT the first!). I highly recommend this book for those whose department policy types are stuck in the 60's, this will give the arguments to the office pukes and city managers who use prime time television for ideas. I really recommend this book for police officers, line AND administration types.
