Handgunner's Guide
Author: Chic Gaylord
Publisher: Paladin Press
ISBN: 9781581601084
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
In his day, Chic Gaylord was the "top gun" in the world of combat shooting, enjoying a reputation as one of the fastest and most accurate shooters around. This Paladin collector's edition of Handgunner's Guide is a faithful reproduction of his 1960 classic that revolutionized the holster industry (even today Gaylord is considered the premiere designer of modern concealment holsters) and, to a great extent, changed the way we view tactics and techniques to survive and win a gunfight. Although some of the weapons discussed in this book are no longer available, a surprising amount of the information is still as tactically sound and relevant today as it was 40 years ago when used by a wide variety of U.S. federal and local law enforcement agencies and several European and Latin American countries to train their elite shooters. This release is intended to provide an accurate account of Chic Gaylord's genius and his craft and to perpetuate it for new generations of shooters.

Fighting Handguns
Author: Jeff Cooper
Publisher: Pickle Partners Publishing
ISBN: 1789124891
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 309
Book Description
In Fighting Handguns, author Jeff Cooper not only takes the reader through the development of this weapon from its beginnings in mid-16th-century Europe through the various iterations of single- and double-action revolvers and semiautomatic pistols, he also discusses some important aspects of carrying and shooting a fighting handgun under combat conditions. “For good or ill, man is a fighting animal. While most feel that this is an unmitigated evil, it may, like most aspects of nature, have its positive side. Certainly man’s combative nature is responsible for most of the massive tragedy of history, but it’s possible that history of any sort just wouldn’t have happened had it not been characteristic of the race to struggle against its environment. And man’s environment, of course, includes man. A placid, gentle, contented creature—a koala, for instance—is nice to contemplate but does not progress, and if it encounters a challenge it simply dies. Whether progress, at the price of a fighting disposition, is worth it is a question, but it’s a bit on the academic side. Man is the way he is, and gets along as he must. Being human, we are involved in strife. Much as we may deplore this, we must master the techniques of strife or perish. “This book is devoted to one of these techniques—the one-hand firearm as used by man against man.”—Jeff Cooper
