DEFENSIVE USE OF FIREARMS
A Common-Sense Guide to Awareness, Mental Preparedness, Tactics, Skills, and Equipment
by Stephen P Wenger

Defensive Use of Firearms addresses the reality and practicality of using a firearm for self-defense. One aspect of that reality is that the software – mental awareness, mental preparedness, tactics and skill – takes higher precedence than the hardware. The author does discuss hardware, but in terms of practicality on the street or in the home, not on the shooting range.

Intended for the gun owner who has realized that mere ownership of a firearm does not convey protection, this book will be of particular interest to those who are engaged in or are contemplating legal concealed carry of a handgun. While primarily oriented toward the handgun, it does contain material about the defensive use of long guns, further expanding its relevance to home defense. A glossary is included for the reader who may be new to the world of firearms. The chapters on tactics and skills include line drawings that aid the reader's grasp of the concepts described.

This concise and affordable handbook offers the reader a set of common-sense principles, tactics and techniques distilled from hundreds of hours of the author's training, which includes certification as a law-enforcement handgun, shotgun, patrol rifle and tactical shooting instructor.

Stephen P. Wenger has an extensive resume as a firearms instructor, including certification from the NRA, National Law Enforcement Training Center, Lethal Force Institute, International Training Consultants and Options for Personal Security. He is a member of the American Society of Law Enforcement Trainers (ASLET) and the International Association of Law Enforcement Firearms Instructors. His articles have appeared in ASLET's Law Enforcement Trainer and the Smith & Wesson Academy Newsletter.

EXTREME CLOSE-QUARTERS SHOOTING
A Critical Analysis Of Contact-Distance Shooting Tactics
with Ralph Mroz

Statistics have consistently shown that most gunfights occur at ranges of 7 yards or less. Even more disturbing, however, is the fact that most gunfight deaths are the result of shots fired at distances of 0–5 feet. If you want to survive in this up-close and impersonal world, you need to learn the techniques of extreme close-quarter shooting. In this groundbreaking video, noted author, martial artist, and firearms trainer Ralph Mroz takes a critical look at the most commonly taught contact-distance shooting techniques. Mroz not only teaches you the proper methods of performing the Speed Rock, the Shove and Shoot, the Drive Forward and numerous other techniques, he clearly identifies the life-saving advantages and potentially deadly disadvantages of each. All techniques are shown with both live-fire demonstrations on three-dimensional range targets and through full-power, full-speed, force-on-force scenarios. This is one of the most eye-opening combat shooting videos ever produced and should be required viewing for every armed professional.

Ralph Mroz is a police officer in western Massachusetts, currently assigned to his county's narcotics/gang task force.

FIGHTING HANDGUNS
History, Adventure and Romance of Handguns from the Muzzle Loader to Modern Magnums
by Jeff Cooper

From the 1540s on, the handgun has been recognized as a handy weapon for individual fighters. Compared to other weapons such as the ax, sword, rifle and shotgun, it is light and compact, allowing it to be carried almost anywhere and deployed quickly when needed. For these reasons, throughout the centuries the handgun has endured as the best defensive weapon for most people, most of the time.

In Fighting Handguns, Jeff Cooper not only takes the reader through the development of this weapon from its beginnings in mid-16th-century Europe through the various iterations of single- and double-action revolvers and semiautomatic pistols, he also discusses some important aspects of carrying and shooting a fighting handgun under combat conditions.

NOTE: We decided to reprint these books as they appeared a half century ago, recognizing that the original quality of the printed matter and the photographs and illustrations does not meet our usual high standards for publication. We feel that making this information available again outweighs any production shortcomings.

The late Jeff Cooper was one of the true pioneers of weaponcraft in the United States. His numerous accomplishments include founder of Gunsite Ranch, editor at large of Guns & Ammo magazine, winner of the Outstanding American Handgunner award in 1995, Rangemaster Emeritus of the U.S. Practical Shooting Association and long-time member of the board of directors of the National Rifle Association.

HANDGUNNER'S GUIDE
Including The Art Of The Quick Draw And Combat Shooting
by Chic Gaylord

In his day, Chic Gaylord was the "top gun" in the world of combat shooting, enjoying a reputation as one of the fastest and most accurate shooters around. This Paladin collector's edition of Handgunner's Guide is a faithful reproduction of his 1960 classic that revolutionized the holster industry (even today Gaylord is considered the premiere designer of modern concealment holsters) and, to a great extent, changed the way we view tactics and techniques to survive and win a gunfight. Although some of the weapons discussed in this book are no longer available, a surprising amount of the information is still as tactically sound and relevant today as it was 40 years ago when used by a wide variety of U.S. federal and local law enforcement agencies and several European and Latin American countries to train their elite shooters. This release is intended to provide an accurate account of Chic Gaylord's genius and his craft and to perpetuate it for new generations of shooters.

JIM CIRILLO'S TALES OF THE STAKEOUT SQUAD
by Paul Kirchner

Since the publication of Guns, Bullets, and Gunfights in 1996, readers have pressed for a follow-up with more information on Jim Cirillo and his service with the New York City Police Department's Stakeout Unit. That book is finally here.

Author Paul Kirchner was working with Cirillo on this biography at the time of Jim's untimely death in 2007. Kirchner draws on his extensive interviews with Cirillo, his family, friends, ex-partner Bill Allard and other SOU officers to create a vivid portrait of an affable and gregarious man who nonetheless was "the last man many armed robbers saw on this earth."

In previously unpublished accounts, Cirillo describes in detail numerous stakeouts and sets the record straight about what he and the other SOU members actually accomplished on the streets of New York. Cirillo also talks about his early years as a street cop and his service with the NYPD Emergency Service Unit; his successes as a lifelong competitive shooter; his distinguished career as a firearms trainer; his unique relationship with Jeff Cooper; his carry guns and the guns of the SOU; and much more. Cirillo's unique voice and humor enliven every page, resulting in a fitting, lasting tribute to a legendary police officer, shooting instructor, gunfighter and raconteur.

Paul Kirchner has been a writer and illustrator for more than 25 years. His work has appeared in publications ranging from Marvel comics to the Wall Street Journal to Paladin author Jeff Cooper's books. He is the author of the best-selling The Deadliest Men, to which he is now working on a follow-up book.
