 An excellent resource book for the serious pistol shooter November 6, 1999
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
Some ten years ago I attended Gunsite's pistol courses. My goal was to use Cooper's training doctrines insofar as appropriate to improve my agency's firearms training. I was already quite familiar with those doctrines, but a week's immersion brought it together. As it happened Morrison (author of the book) was the chief instructor and I saw quite a bit of him, as well as Cooper. Not surprisingly, my class notes and the book are almost identical. As pointed out elsewhere, reading a book is not a substitute for good one-on-one training; but this is a good basic text that can be referred to again and again. There is a great deal of nonsense written on this entire subject, and the difficulty is in differentiating the very good from the very bad. This book is not perfect, but it is very good.
 A good reference for the aspiring pistolero. July 18, 1998

Being a fan of Jeff Cooper, it is easy to spot his influence in the writing style as well as the techniques developed at Gunsite. Morrison gets it all correct, although this is not the last word in development of techniques that work and are safe. That work is ongoing. Expect to read this book over and over for the simplicity and clear line of thought. This is not a how to book, that is the work of individual instructors. Helpful guidelines on tactics, the "states of alertness" or color codes set down by Col. Cooper, the tactical niche of the handgun, the combat mindset. A wonderful book for the dedicated student of the gun. As a note, I must stress that there is at least one practice that Cooper and Morrison espouse that I can not reccomend to anyone! Let the buyer beware! This is empahtically not a how to do it all by yourself book. Get some professional training and then get this book.
