Book excerpt: This Defensive Pistol Course is designed to assist you in building the skills, strength and mental preparedness to effectively fight when it matters most.The standards of performance for the techniques presented in this program are based on real world combat skills.In a growing world of firearm enthusiasts and shooting opportunities ranging from plinking to practical shooting competitions the Continental Army US thought it necessary to develop a program that would help differentiate action shooting activities such as the respectable IDPA, IPSC and NRA Action Pistol, from actual combat techniques designed to help you have the upper hand in a gun fight.Competition is fun, and so is winning, but the skills required to engage an opponent who is shooting back are quite different. If you ever find yourself in a situation where you deem the use of deadly force required and justified to protect yourself, your family or friends, that situation will likely occur on the street or in your house, not at a competition on a regulated shooting range. You will not and cannot win a shooting competition using the skills presented in this manual because what is required to win a competition is tactically opposite of what you will need to do. In the real world there is . . . - No clock to beat, - No room for shortcut, - No time for previewing the fight, - No chance to know where and when the threat will come from, - No certainty about when it will start or stop, - No "re-shoot" opportunity, - Definite terrible consequences for mistakes.This program is on the honor system. It is for you to grow, not to earn a claim to fame. Cheating the system will only aggravate your embarrassment when other actually find out what you can and cannot do.We hope you enjoy this program, its reward, and help build an Army of effective citizens able to take care of themselves.
