Excellent reading, Very highly recommended for desk pukes
This is another very good book, condenses alot of knowledge and explains why the autoloader is indeed the better sidearm for officers, (and firepower IS NOT the first!). I highly recommend this book for those whose department policy types are stuck in the 60's, this will give the arguments to the office pukes and city managers who use prime time television for ideas. I really recommend this ...

This is a really educational book
This book does a great job of exploring a number of gunfights (many of which involved law enforcement officers), and analyzes what was done right and what was done wrong. When I was finished with the book, I passed it along to our Police Department training officer for use in training officers.

Best Yet
Yep. This guy has kids and guns, he's a highly respected police officer and martial artist, legal witness countless times, and a very enjoyable writer. The point is that you can't kidproof your guns, because kids are kids. You CAN gunproof your kids, by helping them to cope with the reality of guns in our world. This is an important read for owners and non-owners alike! (Sooner or later your ...

Good book with nice pictures. I have read all of the tactical books and this is one of the best overall. Covers most basic topics and is an excellent book to read before buying a firearm for self protection.

Dated but worth a read
This book was an excellent read. It look at many aspects of self defense. While the a few specific instances do seem a little dated, it can easily be translated to a modern era example.

What works and what doesn't: a textbook on shotgun techniques
"Stressfire II: Advanced Combat Shotgun" is a book on equipment and techniques. Massad Ayoob explains the difference in Chapter 24, and writes that "Stressfire II" is a book of technique-not tactics. I was fortunate enough to read this book when it first came out in 1992. One concept that hit me in the face was that the shotgun was "heavy artillery." I have a military background and I had ...

Very Informative and thought provoking
I recently bought this book because I am a gun owner and my wife recently became pregnant with our first child. While it was just the two of us in the house, my ownership of several guns was not an issue - I stored them out of sight, and my wife was simply not inclined to touch them anyway, even if I had them lying around on the kitchen counter. However, with a little one on the way and with ...

If you have guns and kids you NEED TO READ THIS BOOK!
As a parent, I'm extremely impressed with the common-sense approach of this book. I am very impressed and it has had a major impact on how I treat my kids and my guns.

Fundamentals of Modern Police Impact Weapons

A must for martial artists
This book is about actually using weapons rather than simulation in the studio or dojo. Martial artists who want to use their skills only as a sport may do so but most of us want skills that would work outside of the studio. On the streets, no matter your skill, strength and size may trump your technique. A weapon is an equalizer but many weapons such as gun and kinfe are potentially lethal -- ...
