It Should Be Noted That... May 22, 2005 35 out of 85 found this review helpful
Since Mr. Suarez is no longer a police officer since being convicted and sentenced to prison for insurance fraud, what he has to say should be taken with a healthy grain of salt. Much, if not all of what he includes in his books and seminars is rehashed material liberally "borrowed" from other established instructors and trainers, and while being investigated for his crimes it was duly noted that at least half of his "street-shootings" involved stray dogs, not armed and dangerous felons.
Bottom line: A person with such a track record can hardly be considered suitable for obtaining such important information from. Yes, Mr. Suarez has served his time and is once again a free man, but I for one do not consort nor do business with known felons. The information in ANY of his "literature" can be found elsewhere, usually from whence he obtained the information to begin with, and most of the times written far better and of course from a reputable source.
A must have May 3, 2005 8 out of 12 found this review helpful
I found it to be a very helpful book. Maybe not for the beginner but a must have among serious shooters. It is not the definitive book on the subject but one of the best, very good reading.
For the trained looking for drills April 25, 2005 6 out of 7 found this review helpful
If you have had some training before in tactical marksmanship this will be a good book with some drills and such that will help you. The problem for the newbie is that physical skills are not taught well by text they are taught by doing. If you are not a trained shooter get some training first. Until then you are better off spending the money on ammo and training.
Not just theory March 9, 2005 9 out of 10 found this review helpful
I am a beginner target shooter (action/IPSC), and although it assumed I knew some things about pistols i found the information in this book great.
Easy to translate to action shooting etc, and very practicle advice, rather than just theory. He is someone who has actually been there and done that, and not afraid to admit at the same time that he isn't the "font of all knowledge".
Good for learners and more experienced
He knows his business February 21, 2005 1 out of 5 found this review helpful
A lot of this book is 'put you to sleep' basic but the chapters on "Failure to Stop" drills and dry firing make it a VERY VALUABLE BOOK for the serious defensive handgunner.
