The Modern Day Gunslinger: The Ultimate Handgun Training Manual

The Modern Day Gunslinger: The Ultimate Handgun Training Manual Review

“The Modern Day Gunslinger is pure dynamite—a gunfighter’s bible. It is a must-read for the beginner, the master, or (perhaps most of all) the trainer.”—Lt. Col. David Grossman, author of the Pulitzer Prize–nominated On Killing

A result of twelve years of research, The Modern Day Gunslinger was written to meet the needs of the gun owner, the experienced shooter, those who own a weapon strictly for home and self-defense, and for the military member who wants to become a better shooter in defense of our country. It’s also for the law enforcement officer who risks his or her life going against the thugs of our society, and for anyone interested in learning the defensive and tactical training techniques from some of the best and most experienced shooters in the world.

The shooting skills taught in this book carry broad application in civilian, law enforcement, and military contexts. Common criminals, terrorists, assailants—the enemy and threat—all will find themselves outgunned in the face of a properly armed and trained gunslinger. Members of the armed services, government and law enforcement agencies, as well as civilians, will find that the close-range shooting methods addressed in this book can provide a decisive advantage. An all-encompassing manual that addresses safety, equipment, tactics, and the best practices for all shooters, The Modern Day Gunslinger is the most all-encompassing book on shooting ever published. It’s a book that, in the words of senior special agent and U.S. government senior weapons and tactics instructor Dick Conger, “will save lives.” 200 color photographs

Handgun Bullet Stopping Power: Beyond the Hyperbole of Cartridge Advocacy

Handgun Bullet Stopping Power: Beyond the Hyperbole of Cartridge Advocacy Review

For the law enforcement officer and the civilian who may be in a situation that requires the use of a handgun to stop a lethal threat action, it is important that the person differentiates between the crass, glib and self-serving advertisements of ammunition vendors and the reality of how, what and why effective stopping power occurs.

Factors to consider are the physiological response, the psychological response, the time frame parameter and bullet efficacy. Of these four factors, only bullet efficacy can be somewhat controlled by the person, this only by understanding how and to what extent the bullet contributes to the degree of stopping power obtained.

A number of concepts / formulae have been included so as to permit the reader to consider their merits and whether or not they are consistent with the reality of biology, physics and other relevant sciences.

Finally the material in this book is intended to permit those persons to instruct, teach or make decisions regarding the selection of a service handgun/cartridge combination that will help to provide the means to prevail in a lethal threat confrontation.
