Surgical Speed Shooting: How To Achieve High-Speed Marksmanship In A Gunfightby Andy Stanford

This book covers just about every aspect of shooting a handgun in combat, and it does it in detail. Stanford devotes a whole chapter on every aspect of shooting; grip, stance, trigger control, and so on. I especially like the authors attitude: He tells his opinions on the correct techniques, then gives his justifications, but he doesnt force his opinions to the reader. For example, he is an Isosceles man, but still recommends a reader to attend different instructors courses; even to those who teach Weaver, and tells everyone to find out what technique works best for him. The reason this book is worth 5 stars is that it doesnt try to cover every aspect of combat, but rather focuses on shooting techniques, and does exellent work at that. I much rather read few exellent books on different aspects of combat, than several mediocre books that try to cover it all. Just about only downside to this book it its name. I almost didnt buy the book, because the name indicates that the book is about competitive combat shooting, not real life combat.
