Instinct Combat Shooting : Defensive Handgunning for Police, Fourth Edition

While much has been written about instinct shooting using long guns, very little literature had been written on doing so with a handgun until the publication of this book. Now in its fourth edition and written by an author who pioneered the concept, it examines testimonies of survivors of shootouts and carefully analyzes firefights that have proven shooting instinctively is not only extremely fast but is also equally accurate. This edition adds more than 50 pages of new material, including entirely new chapters on dispelling myths of indexing, laser sights, and other trick-shooting methods.

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.
