"Tactical Pistol ..." - Real World Expert Advice

Comment:
I have read several of the author's books on self-defense with a pistol and shotgun. With these books, you can build the critical self-defense response needed in a crisis. Re-read the books often and dry-fire practice in your home ... in case a home invasion incident should happen when you least expect it in your neighborhood, much less at your residence.
A judgement call ... how to have a loaded weapon handy when the worst happens to you. Remember, an empty weapon is useless. A loaded weapon around curious children can lead to a family fatality.

Comment:
Gabe Suarez does a good job of introducing the novice to; and reminding the experienced shooter of the practical aspects of pistol use in tactical deployment.
Suarez introduces the reader, briefly, to historical considerations, ammunition and pistol selection (based on experience and personal preference), types of malfunctions, grip, stance and the usual basics that can never be emphasized enough.
He almost immediately launches into the real value of the book; clearing malfunctions, speed reloads, tactical reloads, multiple target engagements (including 360 degrees) and how to practice at home.
In my personal experience, Suarez' suggestion to practice routinely at home during dry fire practice sessions has drastically improved my speed, accuracy and confidence. I recommend this book to everyone I know that carries concealed, carries for a living or just wants to shoot better and faster.

Comment:
This is a great book for anyone who owns a pistol and is thinking of using it for more than target shooting and hunting. Proper self defense takes practice and training. This book is a great tool to becoming more efficient and will get you the information you need. Gabe Suarez is well known in the firearms training community and has put the tactics and recommendations into use and is bringing real world experience to you. Well laid out and easy to read. This is a must of anyone wanting to become more efficient with their pistol.

Not Representative of Gabe's Other Work

Comment:
Tactical Pistol Marksmanship was surprisingly disappointing, not because the information was bad, or because it was poorly written, but because compared to Gabe's other books, all of which I've read, it was slim on new content.
If this is the only book on the Tactical Pistol you get or read, you will likely learn a lot, but you will learn much more if you get Gabe's other book by that name, or his book The Tactical Advantage,or almost anything else he's written.
If this was the only thing I'd ever read by Gabe, I might have given it a 4 out of 5. Compared to Gabe's other work though (all of which I would rate at 5), this one was disappointing.
