This book has the information a novice or advance shooter can use for personal or bussiness applications. The author Mr. Gabriel Suarez is very informative and also adds cool pictures and great diagrams for readers to understand. This was one of the better books I've read in a long time. This Book is well worth the money. (A must have book)

Gabriel Suarez is the consumate professional. He knows the subject inside out and backwards. He lives what he teachs every day. He is the kind of weapons instructor we all wished we had when we were all starting out.
Tactical Advantage is a no nonsense weapons handbook. You will learn the basics of weapon craft from one of the fields premier instructors. If you ever are lucky enough to take one of his courses in person I highly recommend that as well.
If you want to cut through all the intergalactic ninja turtle stuff and get down to the meat and patatos of weapon craft then look no further than the Tactical Advantage....
An excellent resource November 14, 2005

While I'm not sure I'd call it definitive (this topic is simply bigger than any 200 page book can cover), this book truly is outstanding. As with all of Suarez's books, this one is well-written, easy to understand, and packed with solid advice. Contents include tactical mind-set, basic tactical principles, building searches (corners/hallways, doors, stairs, extreme close quarters), tactical movement, shooting on the move, cover, concealment, reduced light operations, team tactics, tactical communications, non-shooting confrontations, weapons retention, combat countermeasures, distance intervals for close-quarters defense, outdoor tactics, and tools for searching. There is a good section on how to practice the various tactics covered in the work along with sources for gear and training and even a suggested reading list. The photos are, unfortunately, not horribly well reproduced (e.g., dark, grainy) so they do not add as much value as I would have liked but you can figure out what's going on nevertheless.
Suarez, a law enforcement Medal of Valor winner, not only knows his stuff but has experienced real life violence and countervailing force in a way that the rest of us hope we never have to. It's written more from a law enforcement perspective then from a civilian one, so you need to take it in the proper context and adjust accordingly. For example, if someone breaks in during the middle of the night you may be best served by simply locking the bedroom door, calling the cops, shouting that you have done so, and sitting back with your gun at the ready, rather than having to clear the house and face off against a potentially armed and dangerous intruder. Don't forget that only law enforcement professionals HAVE to run toward the bad guys in every situation. Having said that, however, if you want solid advice on tactical close-quarters combat this is an excellent resource.

This a good book to get if you are new to the game or need a quick review of the basics. Gabriel does have good tactical theory and it should be a consideration if you need to brush up on your skills or want a good introduction to these type of tactics. It's worth your time. It's not for the advanced operator though, this is just the basics.
