 Thank you, Mr. Jordan! June 5, 2007

A timeless work in the arena of self-defense topics, this book belongs on the bookshelf of anyone living in our modern society who possesses enough brain matter to realize that the police do not exist to protect the populace, but to enforce the laws [which through no fault of their own are often so poorly written as to be unjust & an insult to the populace saddled with them.]
Definitely worth reading by anyone ready to stand up on their hind legs and be counted as a free individual.
 Excellent. Still relevant. May 26, 2007

Just becasue it's old dosen't mean that it's out of date. Some of the tactics and philosophy has changed, but not that much. Ironically those of us in law enforcement have seen something of a return to some of Jordan's techniques.Just because it's old doesen't mean that it won't work.
Must read for anyone interested in carrying a firearm. March 10, 2007

Bill Jordan was an expert shot, and well respected agent of the law. This book has and abundance of practical advise on how to carry, and how to shoot, and how to practice. It is entertaining and informative. I have read this book about 5 times, and it is great every time.

A quick read that is filled with timeless advice from a legend in the shooting world. Although the focus is entirely on revolvers, many of the techniques and training methods can apply to semi-automatic pistols.
A proponent of dry fire practice and learning basic marksmanship before attempting more advanced skills (i.e. drawing from a holster). Even in today's world of fast and fancy equipment and training his standards were extremely high as expressed in this quote regarding law enforcement officers: "Until he can draw and get his hit in times shading one half second, he should not presume that he has mastered the handgun."
"Speed's fine but accuracy's final".

I not only had the pleasure to meet Bill Jordan, I also had the honor to learn from him.
This tall Texan spoke and shot from the hip, his expertise in tactics, lives on till this day. He was one of the founding fathers of Police Officer survival, along with Jeff Cooper, Rex Applegate to name a few.
I can say I have used his tactics and I can also say that they have and will continue to save lives. This book although small in size in size is Texas big with knowledge.
