Defensive Handgun: Preparing to Prevail
By Mark “Six” James
Mark “Six” James is a friend of mine, and in my opinion the subject matter expert with regards to Firearms. His book Defensive Handgun: Preparing to Prevail is without question one of the best.
As an executive protection specialist we pray we never have a need to have to bring our firearms into play. However when we do we realize time is life. Firearm instructor and fellow bodyguard Mark “Six” James has written a comprehensive, but easy-to-read book focused on the art of defensive combat.
Defensive Handgun: Preparing to Prevail details many critical topics of particular importance to the protection specialist. It will take you from selecting your tools to defending your client or family member.
This comprehensive resource is beneficial to both new and experienced protection specialist and will challenge us all to upgrade and keep our training contemporary. In addition to helping you build a strong shooting platform based on the timeless firearm fundamentals. “
There is no such thing as advanced shooting there is only advanced applications of the basics.” He also covers many of the most stress filled situations like dealing with multiple adversaries, effective use of cover and concealment, slicing the pie, malfunctions and many more tactical applications.
One of Mark’s key goals is to always make his students “instructor independent verses instructor dependent.” Defensive Handgun goes a long way toward accomplishing that objective. It explains means for avoiding dangerous situations, gauging the appropriate level of response to a threat, and how to apply that level of response.
The concepts are easily understood because James takes care to not only fully explain terminology but includes many illustrations to help you visually grasp the techniques. The 8.5” x 5.5”, 232-page, paperback from Samurai Publishing will fit neatly in your shooting bag or briefcase.
James is the founder and executive director of Panther Protection Services, LLC, which provides security consulting, threat assessment, executive protection, self-defense training and firearm instruction.
