Download or read book Instinct Combat Shooting written by Chuck Klein and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-08-05 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While much has been written about instinct shooting with long guns, very little had been published on doing so with a handgun until this publication. Written by a pioneering author of the concept, Instinct Combat Shooting: Defensive Handgunning for Police, now in its fourth edition, is not about winning target shooting competitions, but purports surviving real-life firefights by examining testimonies of shootout survivors and carefully analyzing firefights that prove shooting instinctively is not only crucially fast, but also equally accurate. The book defines instinctive combat shooting as: "The act of operating a handgun by focusing on the target, as opposed to the sights, and instinctively coordinating the hand and mind to cause the handgun to discharge at a time and point that ensures interception of the projectile with the target." The concepts behind instinct combat shooting discussed in this book are now being integrated into some of the most progressive police academies in the United States and around the world. New chapters provide valuable material dispelling myths on indexing, laser sights, and other trick-shooting methods. Intended to help officers survive close-quarter combat conditions, Instinct Combat Shooting is an essential tool for police looking to improve their close-range shooting skills and enhance their firefight survival.

Download or read book The Search for an Effective Police Handgun written by and published by Charles C. Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 1973 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collection of research results providing police officials and officers with comparative technical information on various types and models of handguns and ammunition. Prior to standardization which occurred within police departments in the 1930's, officers were usually expected to furnish their equipment, including weapons and ammunition. Two factors, a high-degree of accuracy in the .38 S & W special revolver cartridge and the convenience of police exchanging a standard ammunition, led to the adoption of the S & W .38 by most large departments. However, researchers since 1900 have presented evidence that this accepted police handgun cartridge should be reevaluated in terms of effectiveness. Professor Bristow offers a review of some of that research in this collection of agency evaluations, factory ballistic test reports, excerpted government documents, and other materials which present alternatives to the .38 special as the standard police handgun. Wound ballistics, considerations of velocity and shock, and technical concerns over accuracy versus recoil are detailed in both descriptive and statistical terms. The pros and cons of high-velocity expanding bullets are presented, as are the implications of using large caliber revolvers and semi-automatic pistols. These subjects are also discussed in the context of such larger problems as the cost-risk of change and community relations versus officer protection. The material is intended to aid law enforcement officials and officers who have the responsibility of choosing and justifying a handgun for their agency or themselves.

Download or read book The Practical Pistol Manual written by Bill Clede and published by Jameson Books (IL). This book was released on 1997 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since more than 26 states have passed laws requiring training for concealed carrying of firearms, citizens and police have a duty to teach the safe and responsible use of the weapons.In eight other states that permit concealed carry with no training required, men and women have a moral obligation to learn how to carry and use their firearms safely and responsibly.This handy little book contains everything a novice gun owner needs to know to start learning the basics of competent and safe pistol use, as well as the essentials of using a gun in a potentially violent confrontation with a criminal.It is an ideal textbook for state courses required for concealed carry permits.While there are many excellent books on handguns, marksmanship and self defense, all are designed for those who want to be expert in those subjects. There are no other books which address the specific concerns of someone who simply wants to carry a concealed firearm safely and responsibly until now.Bill Clede serves on the Connecticut State Police Firearms Advisory Committee which determines what training in his state will and will not include. A fruitless search for a suitable text is what prompted him to develop this book.One of Clede's primary goals is teaching how to avoid discharging the firearm in the first place, defusing aggressive behavior without resorting to shooting someone.The Practical Pistol Manual brings all these concerns together -- safety, competent shooting, and how to deal with violent behavior -- in one concise and affordable book.This is the only book that fills the need of a text for novices that covers safety, competent shooting, and how to deal with potentially violentencounters.
Download or read book The Hall Street Shoot Out written by Captain E.R. Walt and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-11-12 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a pleasant Monday evening in September of 1969, twenty-six year-old Johnny Lee Thomas excused himself from his familys dinner table, picked up a pump shotgun and announced that he was going huntingalone. Seconds later he stepped out of his house and shot sixteen-year-old Aljewel Wesley in the face as she sat on her own front porch listening to records with her boyfriend and grandmother. That was but the first shot in what would shortly become the biggest gunbattle in the 130 year history of the Dallas Police Department. Johnny Thomas continued to shoot at neighbors, friends, family members and passing motorists until the police arrived, at which point he ambushed and shot the first three officers on the scene. He then retreated to his house and held off an assault by a hundred or more determined police officers in a furious firefight that lasted more than an hour and involved hundreds if not thousands of rounds fired. Before the incident ended, ten persons would be shot, including four police officers and a TV cameraman; two would be killed, including the shooter himself. Authored by a participant and based upon official police documents, original newspaper articles and personal interviews with forty six of the hundred or so officers present, the book details the gunbattle from the first shot to the final barrage of gunfire that ended the shooters life and brought it to a close. It includes a listing of sixty-seven Dallas officers known to have been combatants or otherwise involved in the incident and details their location and participation as far as it is known. Also included is an analysis of the factors that contributed to the spectacular nature of the incident from departmental policies, procedures, equipment and tactics to the culture and tenor of the times. Chapters are also dedicated to the firearms used in the battle and an analysis of exactly who, among the many officers involved, was responsible for putting an end to Thomass rampagesomething that was never addressed in the original investigation. The concluding chapters cover the aftermath of the gunbattle from the neighborhood riots and arson fires to the truncated investigation and include a brief history of the Dallas Police Departments Tactical Division and the fundamental changes in the operation of that unit that were brought about by the affair on Hall Street. The book closes with an epilogue bringing the reader up to date on the major players in the drama.
