HOW TO BECOME A MASTER HANDGUNNER, The Mechanics of X-Count Shooting, by
|
||
Charles Stephens
|
||
|
||
Perhaps the most valuable book ever written on the sport of pistol
|
||
shooting, this tutorial offers a simple formula for success to the
|
||
handgunner who strives to master the technique of shooting accurately.
|
||
|
||
In a format that is brief, straightforward and easy to read, national
|
||
champion and master handgunner Charlie Stephens presents the basic
|
||
mechanics of X-count shooting: winning grip, aiming as you press the
|
||
trigger, optical focus, controlled movement, stance and total follow-
|
||
through. These principles are not entirely new, and some may be considered
|
||
unorthodox, but Stephens insists that they are absolutely the key to
|
||
becoming a master handgunner, an increasingly rare status among competitive
|
||
shooters.
|
||
|
||
Master and novice alike can learn something from Stephens' book, and it is
|
||
certain to serve as a stepping-stone for the shooter who seeks perfection
|
||
in performance. 5.5 X 8.5, softcover, photos, 64 pp, $10. (2016)

|
||
Frank McGee, head of firearms training in N.Y. City P.D., says it's "must
|
||
reading" for anyone who keeps a gun for self defense.

INSTINCT COMBAT SHOOTING, Defensive Handgunning for Police and Personal
|
||
Protection. By Chuck Klein, Foreword by Bradley J. Steiner.
|
||
In a gunfight, missed shots and lost time can result in lost life - your
|
||
own. That's why CHECKING YOUR SIGHT PICTURE IS ONE OF THE WORST THINGS YOU
|
||
CAN DO! During close-quarters combat, when fractions of seconds can mean
|
||
the difference between living and dying, you don't want to be doing
|
||
anything but pulling the trigger.
|
||
|
||
It's just plain common sense to keep you eyes focused on the danger in an
|
||
armed confrontation - a natural, instinctive reaction. This updated and
|
||
expanded version of Chuck Klein's original book will help you hone those
|
||
instincts and reinforce them with learned and accurate pistol control.
|
||
You'll learn the key techniques of instinct shooting, including how to
|
||
identify the smallest centralized target, focus your eyes at the correct
|
||
distance and concentrate fully on your target. Plus, you'll be able to
|
||
perform realistic combat drills and receive a different kind of target
|
||
instruction that exchanges luck for skill.... and which would you rather
|
||
depend on when your life's on the line?

BUSINESS PARTNERS - The Best Pistol/Ammunition Combinations for Personal
|
||
Defense. By Peter Alan Kasler.
|
||
If you stake your life on the "manstopping" power of your double-action
|
||
pistol and ammunition, you'd better get the facts. This book is a serious
|
||
critique of the wounding capabilities of handguns and ammo designed for
|
||
"business" situations - when one's life is on the line.

Debunking dangerous misconceptions that have been perpetuated over the
|
||
years, the author reveals the true physiological and psychological factors
|
||
of handgun wounding effectiveness. He then takes a hard look at the strong
|
||
and weak points of 9mm, 10mm, .40 caliber and .45 ACP ammo, and compares
|
||
major-caliber pistols from Colt, S&W, Browning, Glock, SIG-Sauer, Beretta,
|
||
IMI and others. The result: a practical assessment of the best pistol/ammo
|
||
combinations - which bullets work best in which guns to get the job done in

THE CZ-75 FAMILY - The Ultimate Combat Handgun, by J.M. Ramos
|
||
Touted by arms producers and designers world-wide as the finest combat
|
||
handgun ever made, the Czech Model 75 pistol is in a class by itself. Now,

GLOCK - The New Wave in Combat Handguns. By Peter Kasler.
|
||
Popularized by the media as the "all-plastic gun," the "terrorist special"
|
||
and the "gun that can pass undetected through airport security systems,"
|
||
the Glock pistol is actually none of these. Since its debut in 1985, the
|
||
Glock has been the subject of considerable controversy. What are the
|
||
advantages of Polymer 2, the "space-age" plastic of which many of its parts
|
||
are made? How many different Glock models are there, and what calibers are
|
||
they offered in? Does the Glock's light weight make it "kick" more than a
|
||
heavier gun? How safe is its unique "safe-action" trigger system - does it
|
||
increase the chance of accidental discharge?
|
||
|
||
In this book, the author debunks the myths, lays to rest the rumors and,
|
||
through photos of a special cutaway Glock that clearly display its inner
|
||
mechanisms, demystifies the design and operations of what is the most
|
||
innovative handgun to be introduced in some time - and possibly in the
|
||
history of firearms. 5.5 X 8.5, hardcover, photos, illust., 304 pp, $25

POWERHOUSE PISTOLS - The Colt 1911 and Browning Hi-Power Sourcebook.
|
||
By Duncan Long.
|
||
Weapons expert Duncan Long gives shooters an in-depth look at the two most
|
||
powerful auto pistols ever created - the Colt 1911 (.45) and 9mm Browning
|
||
Hi-Power. The Author explains why the 1911 is considered to be the best
|
||
pistol design ever and why the Hi-Power is the most widely-used sidearm in
|
||
the free world. Part of the proof of each pistol's popularity lies in the
|
||
number of spinoffs each has generated, and Long evaluates specimens from
|
||
these also, from Springfield Armory's Defender to the Soviet Tokarev.
|
||
|
||
Combatants, collectors and hunters interested in practical considerations
|
||
such as price, performance and availability will benefit from the author's
|
||
straightforward discussions on internal mechanisms, outward design, test-
|
||
firing results, maintenance and accessories.

THE MODERN TECHNIQUE OF THE PISTOL, by Greg B. Morrison & Jeff Cooper
|
||
This book offers peace of mind. It teaches the modern pistol technique
|
||
perfected over the past thirty years through the efforts of Jeff Cooper and
|
||
his staff at American Pistol Institute.
|
||
|
||
You don't have the time to miss in a pistol fight, but too many shooters
|
||
believe that all they need to know is marksmanship! Actuality, marksmanship
|
||
is just the LAST step in a long list of means to an end. The best marksman
|
||
in the world can be defeated if he has not prepared his mind, instilled
|
||
correct management skills and given sufficient thought and training time to
|
||
TACTICS. Thus, the emphasis of THE MODERN TECHNIQUE OF THE PISTOL is on
|
||
mind-set first, gunhandling second, and marksmanship last. This book and
|
||
its information could make the difference between life and death for
|
||
housewives, businessmen, police officers and military combatants. 8.5 X 11,
|
||
hardcover, photos, 176 pp, $45 (MODERN)(1024)
|
||
|
||
(Editor's note: This book's most important lesson is mind-set: psyching
|
||
yourself out ahead of time to do what must be done automatically.
|
||
Hesitation at critical moments can be deadly. There must be no mental
|
||
wrestling over something that should have been rehearsed mentally many
|
||
times - to USE deadly force when necessary. This book will help to prepare
|
||
you for deadly confrontations. Tactics is the next important thing to learn
|
||
- what to do under various conditions and circumstances. Marksmanship is
|
||
critical, of course, but the first two are more important because if you
|
||
flunk the first two steps, you may never get a chance to fire your weapon!
|
||
"Live" courses taught at Gunsite, Arizona (at Jeff Cooper's A.P.I.) cost
|
||
hundreds of dollars and are worth it. But, if you don't have the time or
|
||
can't afford to attend API, this book and others like it, are inexpensive
|
||
alternatives.)

SHOOTING TO LIVE, by Capt. W.E. Fairbain and Capt. E.A. Sykes.
|
||
The toughest city in the world in the 1930's was Shanghai. In charge of the
|
||
Shanghai Municipal Police, Captain W.E. Fairbanks and his partner W.E.
|
||
Sykes, were determined to reclaim the streets for the citizenry.
|
||
|
||
This book is the product of Fairbain's and Sykes' PRACTICAL experience with
|
||
the handgun. Hundreds of incidents provided the basis for the first true
|
||
book on life-and-death shootouts with the pistol. SHOOTING TO LIVE teaches
|
||
all concepts, considerations and applications of COMBAT pistolcraft.

LEAD POISONING - 25 True Stories From the Wrong End of a Gun.
|
||
By Chris Pfouts.
|
||
There are two ways this book can save your life. First, if you've never
|
||
been shot, there are vital lessons to be learned from the stories of those
|
||
who have. How did the presence of a nickel-plated handgun save one man's
|
||
life? How can one person get dropped by a bullet in the arm, while another
|
||
gets shot full in the face and yet manages to throw his adversary out of a
|
||
second-story window? The answers to these questions and many more, are
|
||
found in these real-life accounts. They provide valuable insight into the
|
||
violent world of gunplay. This is the gritty reality behind gunshot
|
||
statistics and wound ballistic studies.
|
||
|
||
If you have been shot, or might reasonably expect to be in the future
|
||
because of your occupation or other factors, this extraordinary book will
|
||
help you sort out the experience better than any unknowing pain therapist
|
||
or psychiatrist could ever hope to. This book contains the real-life
|
||
stories of 25 people like yourself who were put through the most traumatic
|
||
experience of their lives yet lived to talk about it, heal, and go on.

HIDDEN THREAT - A Guide to Covert Weapons. By Mark Smith.
|
||
A belt buckle that holds a functional black powder revolver, a wicked
|
||
little knife concealed in a comb case, a shotgun disguised as a common
|
||
highway flare - these items are not the stuff of spy thrillers. They are
|
||
disguised weapons in use today on the streets of America that can pose a
|
||
deadly threat to anyone who encounters them.
|
||
|
||
Intended for use by law-enforcement personnel, this book provides a
|
||
fascinating glimpse into the darker side of police work, a world in which
|
||
things are not always what they seem to be. HIDDEN THREAT illustrates
|
||
objects offered for sale by commercial manufacturers, improvised weapons
|
||
and items that have been modified or booby-trapped to create a nasty
|
||
surprise. This book will aid security professionals in the detection of
|
||
covert and improvised weapons and help informed citizens and CrimeFighters
|
||
to recognize innocent-looking items that can be used to lethal advantage.

HANDGUN STOPPING POWER - The Definitive Study
|
||
By Evan P. Marshall & Edwin J. Sanow
|
||
Dramatic firsthand accounts of the results of handgun rounds fired into
|
||
criminals by cops, store owners and a host of others are the heart and soul
|
||
of this long-awaited and controversial book by firearms experts Evan
|
||
Marshall and Ed Sanow. Their goal is to provide an accurate wound
|
||
ballistics and ammunition information that police officers and civilians
|
||
can use to survive lethal confrontations on the street.
|
||
|
||
The use of results of shooting incidents - gathered from such sources as
|
||
police reports, autopsies and victim statements - sets this book apart from
|
||
all others of its kind, leaving no further need for "expert" opinions or
|
||
outdated theories. By combining these case studies of actual shootings with
|
||
scientifically controlled test firings into 10-percent ordnance gelatin,
|
||
the authors have developed what may be the definitive methodology for
|
||
predicting the stopping power of any handgun load. All other theories and
|
||
formulas fade in comparison to this detailed data - what REALLY happens
|
||
when a bullet meets a man. 8.5 X 11, hardcover, photos, 240 pp, $40

FBI WOUND BALLISTIC EVALUATION.
|
||
9mm or .45 automatic - which caliber packs the most punch and will do the
|
||
most damage to your adversary, giving you the edge in a life-or-death
|
||
combat situation? (Don't jump to conclusions before you read this book.)
|
||
|
||
This FBI study analyzes the factors involved in handgun wounding and the
|
||
relative effectiveness of 9mm and .45 caliber ammunition in brute stopping
|
||
force. It is a revealing look at the elements that are vital for maximizing
|
||
tissue damage and dropping an individual before he can be of further danger
|
||
to you. Includes discussions of the importance on penetrating power, the
|
||
limitations of any handgun in stopping a determined opponent and a good
|
||
argument for increased magazine capacity.

GUN IN THE HOUSE

|
||
such a tragedy happened in your house with one of your weapons, chances are
|
||
YOU would be held accountable! It's sound policy to make crisis prevention
|
||
an integral part of your self-defense strategy. This video covers the
|
||
myths, realities and legalities of personal security, from childproofing
|
||
your weapon to securing your home or vehicle to the basics of gun safety.
