Suggested Reading???

[garyb]

Any suggestions for good books or DVD's on handgun tactical, conceal carry or IDPA training. I'm always trying to analyze and pick up a new idea to improve my shooting and training. Thanks.

Well the Bourne movies are pretty good. :) I learned a lot of good stuff on another forum (http://www.defensivecarry.com/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?40-Carry-amp-Defensive-Scenarios) that has a scenario section (both real and made up). The folks including LEOs offer opinions and make you think about it. They include links to other sources and you can easily spend all night learning stuff.

I thought this was a good read.

Amazon.com: In the Gravest Extreme: The Role of the Firearm in Personal Protection (0749522009954): Massad F. Ayoob: Books (http://www.amazon.com/Gravest-Extreme-Firearm-Personal-Protection/dp/0936279001)

Good book, good food for thought. I don't know how that guy has had time to do all the things he says hes done without being 148 years old but he's put some good thought into stuff.

A lawyer in every town he visits, a mirror laced into his shoes. Grain of salt needed but an excellent read none the less.

I have not read that one, but will check it out after the holidays. (I hate to have things shipped this time of year. Too many mail screw-ups and then you need to battle with the suppliers to get them to track the order and get a new order out to you.) Thanks for the input....appreciated!

Any other good books that anyone can recommend? I love to read, train, listen to what works for others and constantly improve my skills. TX.

The second book did not come up on the link, but I am familiar with it. Bullseyes don't shoot back, or something like that. I saw this one and it is on my list. I will check them out. TX.

I picked this one up and just started reading. Great book by Brian Enos for advanced shooting. Endorsed by Rob Leatham (6 time National and 3 time world champion at the time of the writing of this book) who knows and has competed with Brian. Involves martial arts and a number of additional things he learned from other sports in the mental aspects - awareness and focus of shooting. This is not a basic book....it is advanced. I agree with skychief12 and recommend this one. Thanks for this suggestion.
