Frangible ammunition represents the first viable revolutionary change to firearms science in the past 100 years! A polymer-compound round that produces no splashback and vastly decreased ricochets, frangible ammo is ideal for marksmanship training for both indoor and outdoor ranges, tactical team training, close-in engagement of metal targets and specialized service use. As such, it is the safest full-power training ammo for police and military shooters, civilian range owners and casual shooters. Despite its widespread acceptance, however, there has been no in-depth study of this cutting-edge round,until now. This book teaches the potential user what a frangible round is, what it can and cannot be used for, how to construct safe training devices and facilities, and the proper street and service uses for the round. With the correct round and appropriate use, you can achieve superior accuracy in your training at an affordable price. 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, softcover, photos, illus., 192 pp.

Small-caliber handguns are often maligned as too puny for serious self-defense, but millions of Americans own and carry these guns and have used them successfully to stop violent assaults. This is the first book ever devoted to eliminating the many misconceptions about the usefulness of these popular guns. Their small size and hammerless design enable them to be easily concealed and carried so they are immediately accessible in an emergency. Concealable Pocket Pistols addresses every aspect of owning, carrying and shooting small-caliber handguns in a realistic manner. It then gets into the real-world issues of how to carry a concealed pocket pistol, how to shoot it under stress and how to deal with malfunctions quickly and efficiently. In an emergency, a small-caliber pistol in the pocket is better than the .357 Magnum left at home. Find out what millions of Americans already know about these practical self-defense tools. 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, softcover, photos, illus., 80 pp.
