Synopsis Fighting Handguns by : Jeff Cooper
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

Synopsis Fighting Handgun by : Donald Redl
Fighting Handgun is based on the comprehensive 3-day pistol program designed and conducted by the author. This book is intended to be a manual on how to prepare for and manage a fight for your life. It is about applying current fundamentals, tactics, and techniques in the lawful use of a handgun. Fighting Handgun is constructed in a manner, as is the actual course of instruction, to build upon each topic presented, as opposed to being a mixture of stand-alone topics. In this 266 page book, containing over 190 descriptive photos, the Author Don Redl draws on his 25+ years of practical experience personally leading and/or conducting Investigations, Executive Protection and/or Training operations, both Domestically and Internationally for major US corporations, law firms, insurance companies, high net worth individuals, heads of state, political figures, foreign dignitaries and entertainment industry clients. Don is an active shooter response instructor as well as a scenario-based force-on-force instructor. He holds professional instructor certifications through the NRA and Simunition, as well as the NYS Department of State as both a Firearms Instructor and a General Topics Instructor. Don has trained a tremendous amount of people over his career, including everyone from serious armed professionals across the law enforcement, executive security and military spectrum to housewives. The majority of Executive Options courses are client-based, however, they include the NYS armed guard curriculum, judicious use-of-force, defensive and tactical firearms, active shooter response and scenario-based force-on-force training.

Synopsis Instinct Combat Shooting by : Chuck Klein
While much has been written about instinct shooting with long guns, very little had been published on doing so with a handgun until this publication. Written by a pioneering author of the concept, Instinct Combat Shooting: Defensive Handgunning for Police, now in its fourth edition, is not about winning target shooting competitions, but purports surviving real-life firefights by examining testimonies of shootout survivors and carefully analyzing firefights that prove shooting instinctively is not only crucially fast, but also equally accurate. The book defines instinctive combat shooting as: "The act of operating a handgun by focusing on the target, as opposed to the sights, and instinctively coordinating the hand and mind to cause the handgun to discharge at a time and point that ensures interception of the projectile with the target." The concepts behind instinct combat shooting discussed in this book are now being integrated into some of the most progressive police academies in the United States and around the world. New chapters provide valuable material dispelling myths on indexing, laser sights, and other trick-shooting methods. Intended to help officers survive close-quarter combat conditions, Instinct Combat Shooting is an essential tool for police looking to improve their close-range shooting skills and enhance their firefight survival.
