“Should be read by everyone who owns or is considering owning a firearm . . . the best and most concise compendium on weapons defensive tactics I’ve seen.” —Robert Gormly, Commanding Officer (Ret.), SEAL Team Two and SEAL Team Six
This all-encompassing manual addresses safety, equipment, tactics, and the best practices for all gun owners. A result of twelve years of research, The Modern Day Gunslinger was written to meet the needs of the experienced shooter, those who own a weapon strictly for home and self-defense, and the military member who wants to become a better shooter in defense of our country. It’s also for the law enforcement officer who risks his or her life on the job, and for anyone interested in learning defensive and tactical training techniques from some of the best and most experienced shooters in the world. This comprehensive training manual includes chapters on:
Weapons and Range Safety * Dry Fire * Use of Force * Living in a Battlefield * Combat Mindset * Shooting Competence * Handguns * Defensive Handgun Ammunition * Marksmanship * Stance
* Basic Kneeling Positions * Ready Positions * The Draw Strokes * Grip and Trigger Control * Visual Techniques and Sight Alignment * Multiple Shots * Follow-Through and Scan * Loading, Reloading, and Unloading * Malfunctions * Low- and No-Light Shooting * Concealed Carry and Holsters * Learning Styles * Training Fundamentals * Shooting Drills
Common criminals, terrorists, assailants—the enemy and threat—all will find themselves outgunned in the face of a properly armed and trained gunslinger. Members of the armed services and government and law enforcement agencies, as well as civilians, will find that the close-range shooting methods addressed in this book can provide a decisive advantage.
