About This Book
The manual provides comprehensive instruction in modern automatic pistol use, covering safety rules, mechanisms, ammunition, sights, and cleaning, together with progressive lessons on grip, trigger control, aiming, snap and running shots, timing devices, long-range practice, and exhibition techniques. It addresses common faults of pistols, accident prevention, effects of alcohol and nicotine on performance, and training methods for rapid preparation and self-defence, plus discussion of duelling, dress, and competitive scoring. Practical guidance is combined with commentary on shooting's place among sports and recommendations for training, range use, and responsible ownership.
