HB 96pp, 27 colour illustrations 2021 N&MP Reprint of 1942 Original Edition This book is an excellent summary and was the first time that fighting with firearms was clearly and explicitly disassociated from classical target/range shooting.This is the concept that spawned most modern pistol techniques because it is simple, effective and proven. It is written as instruction to police forces in the methods of shooting (reflexive/instinctive) and training (realistic/challenging) that the author developed over two decades active service in Shanghai. This book is published strictly for historical purposes.

Fully illustrated and enhanced with colourised images, this is the Marksman's Edition of what is still the best instruction manual on life-or-death close-quarters shootouts with the pistol.
This book gives excellent summary and was the first time that fighting with firearms was clearly and explicitly disassociated from classical target/range shooting. This is the concept that spawned most modern pistol techniques because it is simple, effective and proven.
It was written as instruction to police forces in the methods of shooting (reflexive/instinctive) and training (realistic/challenging) that the author developed over two decades of active service in Shanghai.
Captain W. E. Fairbairn would have approved of this new colour version, that gives an illustrative clarity to the original that was lacking in previous monochrome reprints of his work.
It will be sure to gratify all those looking to improve their marksmanship, whether in a professional capacity or as an amateur shooter.
