Summary: Part of the next evolution of pistol technique
Review: This is an excellent intermediate level book on gun handling. As the subtitle implies, it's not a beginner's level book. I have notes, highlights and page flags all over my copy. This book covers the topic of wounded shooter techniques (how to keep fighting after being wounded) better than any other book of the genre. Suarez has real-world experience in applying the techniques he teaches in this book. His experience shows in his writing. A few decades ago, pistol-handling technique underwent a practical revolution with the results of combat or practical pistol matches demonstrating a series of techniques that work to build speed and accuracy. Suarez's work is part of the next evolution of these same techniques after they've been tried and tested under stress and in-the-field. His technque may be the "practical" methods after they've been through the "can you do it under stress and when you're frightened?" filter.
Suarez's techniques also draw on an intimate knowledge of the martial arts (he has an extensive martial arts resume). The martial arts have a several hundred-year history of training people to perform complex tasks under stress and Suarez brings that forward in his writing. I highly recommend this book.
