About this title

Synopsis

Chic Gaylord's Handgunner's Guide (first published in 1960) is the definitive manual on modern handguns and their use, written by a man who was a quick-draw record holder and an expert on combat shooting.

This guidebook gives you step-by-step analysis and advice on:

- choosing a handgun

- adapting a gun to your individual needs

- drawing and firing for speed and for accuracy

- self-defense and combat methods

- holsters and ammunition for handguns

- the psychology of gun-fighting

And there is a fascinating chapter on the great gun-fighters of the Old West. The copious illustrations clarify every detail of the text.

Chic Gaylord (1914-1992) was famous across the country for the holsters that he hand-made in his shop on the west side of New York City. Equally well known for his speed and accuracy with many types of handguns, he demonstrated his prowess in public exhibitions and on television shows. His tips and advice on guns, holsters and ammunition evoked grateful praise from scores of police officers and interested citizens. The essence of Gaylord's accumulated hand-gun wisdom is distilled between the covers of this book.
