Tactical Shotgun Cover THE TACTICAL SHOTGUN
The Best Techniques and Tactics for Employing the Shotgun in Personal Combat
by Gabriel Suarez

The shotgun is a specialized tool that serves its user like no other weapon can. But too many well-meaning tacticians try to turn the shotgun into a "do-everything-for all-gunfighters" weapon. This is a grave mistake, warns big-city police officer Gabriel Suarez, and in this second book in his series on tactical weapons, he sets the record straight about the true role of the shotgun in personal combat.

Suarez illustrates the best techniques for employing the shotgun to defend your home, business and family. Twenty-two chapters show you everything you need to know about combat shotgunning in close-quarter, short-duration exchanges, during low-light encounters with multiple hostiles, or when you are forced to shoot and reload on the move.

THE COMPLETE BOOK OF COMBAT HANDGUNNING
by Chuck Taylor

All aspects of combat handguns and their use are covered in this complete manual written by well-known small arms expert Chuck Taylor. He covers the topic of combat handgunning as it has never been covered before -- from the historic perspective through the purpose of the combat handgun, care and cleaning, modifications to prepare the handgun for combat, holsters and spare ammo carriers, handgun stopping power, technique, tactics, mental conditioning and training, and competition.

Over 400 photographs, line drawings, diagrams, charts and tables are presented in this book -- plus an analysis of what supposedly well trained law enforcement officers did wrong in real gunfights. It offers what undoubtedly is the most comprehensive look ever at a deadly serious subject -- defending one's life with a handgun.
