 Surgical Speed Shooting January 23, 2008
This is a basic nut and bolts book. If you have been doing any shooting, don't look for to much new information. This book would serve the novice shooter not much help for the mid road guy.Unless you are a novice, save your money.
 Disappointment. January 10, 2008
3 out of 6 found this review helpful
This book delivers none of the promises you may expect from its title. I simply do not understand why the author has to spend such an enormous energy to point out the superiority of the isosceles stance over the "Weaver". Do you truly care? Have you bought the book to read a history of pistol technique (from the late 20th Century to Postmodern) or IPSC/USPSA champions, or, because you would like to improve your accuracy, speed and technique? There is no suggestion how to assess or measure your current level, deficiencies or faults (Would you know, just from reading this book, if you have trouble with your trigger pull or recoil flinch?) There is no useful advice how to improve any of your problems, at the end you are not much wiser than at the beginning. (Perhaps the only usable section is around page 135-140.)
Dont Waste Your Money Get Lawrence Instead January 9, 2008

Stanford spends the first half of the book trying to convince you that the Iso is better than the Weaver. Ok, so all the top thinkers are pretty much there, why do I have to pay for half a book trying to sell me that? Finally, you get by that morass, and hope to find the good stuff. Well, the next quarter covers stance and tactics and guess what: more "anti Weaver, better look at Iso" carefully argument! We're very much for Iso, but heck, why pay money to hear that?
We are blade combat instructors and also wanted to see Andy's take on knife vs. gun. There are a couple illustrations, again very basic. At least he covers the girdle shot vs. the head in a knife confrontation, but still not worth the money. Lawrence (below) is much more specific about gun jams with close knife encounters, etc. even though Stanford claims to be a knife expert and black belt in this and that.
The one to get, for real value for your buck, is Erik Lawrence's Tactical Pistol ShootingTactical Pistol Shooting which is light years ahead of Stanford's little book. Lawrence has tons of illustrations, lists, diagrams, and really does present the latest thinking on life or death shooting.
Want the best of both? Buy Lawrence, remember iso is good, and you have both for half the price! We just hate to see you waste your money when Lawrence covers it so much better without all the hype. By the way, Stanford is called "speed" and we found about three paragraphs in 140 pages that are really about speed. Lawrence covers it far more extensively, even though it's not in his title.

I am an IPSC shooter so I'd just like to say don't let the title throw you, this is a great book for anyone who does IDPA or Production Class IPSC, the techniques is this book are excellent and the book is well set out with separate chapters for Grip, Stance, Trigger control etc. I found the chapter on trigger control especially good as a fellow Glock lover it worked very well for me, I have a lot of shooting books in my library but this is the one I come back to whenever I critique my techniques... stance, grip etc.
The only thing I didn't like is position sul but that's a personal preference - it probably works well for a tactical operator but as a competition shooter it's not really necessary.
The Basics pure and simple. July 5, 2007

I was new to handgun shooting and was getting very frustrated trying to improve with no lessons or direction.
Surgical Speed shooting was the answer. It covered the basics in simple language along with pictures to show what they are talking about. I'm now putting 90% of my shots "in the black" from 21 feet. Shooting is really fun. I started slowly with accuracy and have quickly increased my speed......with accuracy. Buy it, you won't be dissapointed. Thanks Andy Stanford!
