 The best book on basic pistol self defense July 30, 1999
26 out of 27 found this review helpful
This book is easy to read. The lessons are simple, and the techniques are so easy that you will be able with one hour of practice to hit a target within 15 yards.(consider that FBI's statistics show that most shootings happen under 6 yards). You use your body's centerline to align your hand and fingers and the gun barrel and point and shoot at the target. No need to use your sights unless you have the time and space to do so. The authors were British policemen in Shanghai of the 1920's, a very crime ridden city. They later trained the British Commandos and the U.S.OSS (The original CIA). While the material is a bit old, it is from real life experience and the lessons are timeless. It is not the gun, but how you use it. The authors point out, in real stress situations, one can't focus, movements become exaggerated, and fine muscular control is difficult. This method uses these conditions to help one shoot in combat. Rex Applegate, who also wrote about gun usage, studied with the authors. He was the trainer for the OSS in personal combat during ww2. A highly recommended book.
