Previous owner name; some chipping and edgewear to dustjacket. With chapters on our handgun heritage, adapting your gun, weapons for concealment, personal defense weapons, service weapons, guns for combat practice, the fun guns, centerfire hunting weapons, ammo; undercover, field, service, and western holsters; targets, close combat shooting, alley cleaning, mid range and long range shooting, quick draw, the psychology of gun fighting, holster history, and much more. A classic work in the field, and a book that revolutionized the holster industry (even today Gaylord is considered the premiere designer of modern concealment holsters) and, to a great extent, changed the way we view tactics and techniques to survive and win a gunfight. Tactically sound and as relevant today as it was more than 60 years ago, it has been used by a wide variety of U.S. federal and local law enforcement agencies and several European and Latin American countries to train their elite shooters. In his day, Chic Gaylord was the "top gun" in the world of combat shooting, enjoying a reputation as one of the fastest and most accurate shooters around. Quite scarce in the original edition.…
