The Gun Digest Book of the Tactical Shotgun

Great information. The author defines home and personal defense in a way all can understand. He also explains what defense is not as well as what it is and that is just as important. I've taken his book to heart and have referred to it many times since I bought it. Scott has a good understanding of human nature and demonstrates it often. I really think that anyone concerned about protecting their family should carefully read this book. Those of you who think you will be able to react in an appropriate manner because you know guns etc., etc. or have a Wyatt Earp syndrome you need to read this also as Scott points out your job is to survive, not just blow someone away.

Having breifly reviewed the book the portions I glossed through were well written and very appropriate in content. The shotgun is an awesome weapon and is highly underestimated as to its capabilities at close and intermediate ranges. overall I am impressed with what I have seen so far. Very good book overall and highly recommended for any person, law enforcement or civilian, novice or skilled, who wants to educate themselves about the shotgun and its tactical capabilities including the use of the ammunition available for different applications.

If you do a lot of online research, you could probably not do with this volume. If you peruse YouTube a lot, you can pretty much skip this book. I guess due to the nature of the subject, video is just a superior media to communicate with. Sure, it's sometimes nice to have a physical, printed copy in your hands, but it just ends up being bathroom reading material. Advances in tech also makes some of the material covered obsolete...and it just gets worse as time goes on. It's not like this will end up being a collectors edition...? You would think that with the word "TACTICAL" in it's title that it would cover more...well, tactical. I guess that subject is a little too taboo for the typical consumer. Again, I default back to video being a much more superior means of communication when it comes to that subject matter.

Very good book, gave me the information I needed to chose the type tactical shotgun I was looking for. Highly recommend this book.

Ordered kindle version while on vacation and couldn't put it down. Lots of specifics and pros's and con's for shotgun use for self defense, sport or law enforcement.

Not that informative. Felt very outdated on the inside

lots of good detailed advice

A good reference sized book about shotgunning and tactical applications. there could be more meat to this meal, but its a fair intro into this side of combat sports. Can pick up for a good price usually so why not? 12g is always out there!

The book is informative, but I will admit that there comments there I disagree with the author as it is politically motivated ( I think).

It is a good book about tactical shotgun, but no information about tactics and tecnics of tactical defensive shotgun use.

when's the next one

Il libro è ben fatto e strutturato. Ha un taglio pratico più che teorico, ma credo sia comunque una guida molto utile e rara. Per la prima volta ho preso la versione e-book ma trovo complessa la lettura, soprattutto per il fatto che il libro è in lingua inglese e la carta consentirebbe qualche appunto a matita, ma questo è un limite mio, non del libro.

More culture than tactical instructions...
