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.

Is it possible to aim in a gunfight?This question represents a long-standing, often bitter, area of controversy in the firearms and tactical training community.In Hitting in Combat, former naval officer and close protection security operative Dustin Salomon, author of the acclaimed book Building Shooters: Applying Neuroscience Research to Tactical Training Design and Training Delivery (2016), performs the most definitive analysis of the subject conducted to date.Salomon applies his decades of experience in both training and operations with the latest in cutting-edge brain science to step outside the emotion and controversy that is frequently associated with debate over this topic. He examines the origins of point shooting training methodology, explores how different methods of training impact real-world performance, and explains how, ultimately, both sides of this argument are right, as well as the implications this has for instructor liability and the future of tactical firearms training.The book also contains a thorough examination of common talking points on both sides of the issue, along with a series of recommendations for maximizing the effectiveness of firearms training that is intended to prepare students for armed combat.This ground-breaking work should be considered mandatory reading for all firearms, tactics, and self-defense instructors, as well as every aspiring to advanced tactical shooter.Everyone who cares about winning gunfights should read Hitting in Combat.

Smart. Funny. Fearless."It's pretty safe to say that Spy was the most influential magazine of the 1980s. It might have remade New York's cultural landscape; it definitely changed the whole tone of magazine journalism. It was cruel, brilliant, beautifully written and perfectly designed, and feared by all. There's no magazine I know of that's so continually referenced, held up as a benchmark, and whose demise is so lamented" --Dave Eggers. "It's a piece of garbage" --Donald Trump.
