a CLASSIC that's still very relevant today, Chuck Taylor like Jeff Cooper both stayed ahead of the curve ?
Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2022
The author has been there, done that several times in his military career. This book is for people who are serious about the topic. It has timeless, lifesaving instructions in it.

Chuck Taylor is a Vietnam Special Forces vet. His advice is no nonsense. He's been there and done that. If you want advice from a real gunfighter, this is it.

As someone who has attended some classes instructed by Taylor, you realize that out of thousands of columnists and gun writers, he is clearly 'been there and done that'. Now there may be many people with as much combat experience as he has attained, however Taylor refined his technique, and has done so for a very long time. He is not out there teaching the Swiss Army, La Legion, or Seal Team Six because he is a couch crusader. Taylor is also set apart from most because he can write. Taylor has distilled the majority of his experience and techniques into this book. This book is the original Combat Hangunnery Book, and it is already to its Fourt Edition. Now naturally some material in this book is dated, but I have this along with the current edition because it fills in some of the theoretical underpinning of his current techniques. It also lets you see that the techniques have not changed all that much in the last 10 or 15 years. I wish I had bought this book when I first started to practice with hanguns as I would not have necessarily bought the same guns. I now, of course, use a 1911, as does everyone else eventually.
Get this book, dry practice, then go take a Taylor course, you WILL NOT be disappointed. He will stop you from wasting time and ammo developing bad habits, and rapidly improve your skill, yes even cops could learn for Taylor.

I try and pick my shooting books very carefully. Read all the reviews, digest them, sort through the garbage, and make an educated decision. Like I said, good read over and over, just keep me on track. Very good shipping.

Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2009
Even though this book was first published in 1982; nevertheless, most of the information in this classic is just as valid today in 2009. The book is clear, concise and informative. The ten chapters cover a wide variety of topics. The first chapter gives a brief historical reference to handguns. The second chapter explains the purpose of the handgun. The third chapter tells how to properly clean and care for your gun. The fourth chapter gives tips on how to prepare your handgun for combat. The fifth chapter details types of holsters and ammunition carriers. The sixth chapter gives information on handgun stopping power. The seventh chapter is on the techniques of combat shooting and chapter eight provides vital information on combat tactics using the gun. Chapter nine deals with mental conditioning and the final chapter covers training and competition.

In conclusion, this is a book for anyone interested in combat shooting.

Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Use of the Monadnock Straight Baton).

Reviewed in France on January 30, 2016
Ouvrage incontournable et tres complet écrit par un des plus grand maître de tir de combat au usa avec de plus de nombreux exemples concrets techniques et tactiques.
Il manque cependant le parcours de tir master présent sur la version française traduite en 1982.
