    Big-city cop and gunfight veteran Gabe Suarez teaches you the most vital lessons and techniques for prevailing in any situation where you must draw your weapon.

    Chapters in The Tactical Pistol include The Dynamics of a Gunfight, The Rules of Close-Quarter Combat, Holding Hostiles at Gunpoint and more.

    This is not the only Suarez book I have reviewed because he has written several books worth reviewing.  I particularly like his book on the combative perspective.

    This particular book builds upon the mindset lessons of the combative perspective by showing specific pistol techniques that you should master.

    This is not the only pistol tactics book I own, and I do not think it should be your only book on handgun fighting – but I do think it is worth owning.

    If you add this book to your library on pistol combat you are not wasting your time, money, or shelf space.  Which is saying a lot because for me, after collecting as many books as I have shelf space is pretty valuable.

    I recommend the Tactical Pistol as a useful book to read as you study the science of handgun survival.  Read books like this from the old masters and add that to the work of the new masters and you will quickly gain skill.

    Home Workshop Guns for Defense & Resistance Volume II is a clear and simple guide to building a semi- or full-auto pistol or a single-shot, falling-block handgun from common materials in the privacy of your home workshop.

    In addition to offering many alternative workshop gunsmithing tips, the author explains how each part and section of the gun is made and discusses thoroughly the subjects of heat-treatment and bluing.

    I haven’t built any guns more complicated than slam fire shotguns like what is illustrated in the improvised munitions manual or assembling an AR, but this is a fine book with easy to follow instructions.

    As long as you don’t make anything fully automatic or bigger than .50 caliber (and stay within all the other insane regulations) of the BATFE making your own guns are legal.

    I enjoy thumbing through Home Workshop Guns for Defense & Resistance – between it an Luty’s book on expedient homemade firearms I know that no matter what happens the citizenry of America will always have guns.

    I find that books like these (and the publishers willing to print books like these) are becoming more and more rare as our society changes.  It is my desire that every prepper household buys books like this to ensure that the information is always present in out society.  Ben Franklin would have wanted this also.

    Surgical Speed Shooting helps you learn the secrets of shooting a handgun quickly and accurately under the extreme stress of a gunfight.

    These cutting-edge techniques for managing recoil in rapid fire, high-speed trigger control and more are used by today’s hostage rescue teams and competitive grandmasters.

    Andy Stanford is a well known firearm instructor, and the shooter on the cover is the famous/infamous James Yeager.

    I actually come from a town near where Yeager came from and took my very first handgun permit from him before the goatee and tattoos.

    All that aside, this book is about how to shoot fast and accurately – and that is something I can get behind no matter who is the person teaching.
