Unlike many combat shooting instructors and gun writers, Gabriel Suarez knows what it's like to have someone shooting back at him. As a veteran Los Angeles Police officer, he has participated in numerous gunfights, hostile arrests, armed house searches, and weapons-drawn pursuits of fleeing street criminals. In The Tactical Pistol, he draws from these experiences to share with you the most vital, life-saving lessons, tactics, and techniques for deploying and firing your sidearm in a life-or-death situation. More than 20 chapters cover in detail what you need to know from Officer Suarez's real-world gunfighting perspective, including:
The Dynamics of a Gunfight
The Rules of Close-Quarters Combat
Holding Hostiles at Gunpoint
Dealing with Multiple Adversaries
Operating in Reduced-LIght Environments
Tactical Considerations in Vechicles
Wounded Shooter Techniques
Sharpening the Mental Trigger
