I came across Tactical Pistol Shooting while looking for books covering the subject of handgun defense. After reading reviews written by the layman as well as trained police officers, I thought that Tactical Pistol Shooting would be worth a look-see. Because I learn by sight the book itself is a visual wonder. It contains many clear, concise photos of the actions described in each chapter. Mind you, although there are a lot of good things to learn from this book such as general handgun safety, proper defense presentation, proper stance, grip, aim, and so on, it is NOT a replacement for a genuine handgun class basic or tactical! Tactical Pistol Shooting is a very good starting point if you pay close attention and adhere to the practice drills. It undoubtedly makes for good reference material. I think that I'll keep my copy!Read full review
I bought this book on the understanding from the title and cover that advanced shooting skills would be discussed. I admit that the author does an excellent job of illustrating basic shooting practices such as grip, stance, and sight alignment; however thses are again basic shooting skills and do not benefit readers other than those with initial interest. If these were the authors intentions-both the title and cover are misleading imho. I will add the author discusses important topics such as shooting from a prone position, kneeling, and shooting on the move, but these again are rudimentary and are discussed in many good ccw or shooting book. If you are searching for a good, solid explanation on the basics of shooting with a bit of advanced skills then this is a great book and I'll be the first to say so. If you are searching for an in depth book on tactical skills and advanced shooting scenarios, I would keep looking.Read full review
