Glock Handbook (An Operational Guide to the Glock Pistol)

by Erik Lawrence

The Blackheart International Glock Handbook (An Operational Guide to the Glock Pistol) is part of Blackheart International Training’s Operator’s Guide Series of weapon-specific handbooks and manuals. Written by former U.S. special operations members and current subject matter experts, the Operational Guide Series handbooks stem from the authors’ more than 20 years of shooting experience using these weapons for training, combat and sport. The Glock Handbook is not filled with “nice-to-know” but only “need-to-know” information, and can be used as a guide for classes prior to range operations, or as a quick reference when on the range. This book gives the “what” and “how” as well as the “why” necessary to teach the proper operation and use of the Glock pistol. Areas covered include weapon basics and specifications, malfunctions, tactical shooting, maintenance, marksmanship and more. Topics

• background/specifications of the Glock pistol
• instruction on operation
• disassembly and assembly procedures
• proper firing procedures
• malfunction/misfire procedures
• body mechanics
• assessing pistol training, drills and more

The Glock Handbook is also available in spiral-bound print form.
