Perhaps the most comprehensive and useful book on handgun techniques I've read. Covers the core topics of marksmanship thoroughly, is well illustrated with lots of pictures, and goes on to address many added topics (like low light engagement) that most books skip. This material is best taught in a class or video setting, but this book does a good job of laying groundwork and providing worthwhile instruction and advice.
Oh, and the diagnostic diagram included in this book (to identify technique errors based on where your shots are flying) is well worth the price of the book alone.
I don't agree with all of the author's techniques and conclusions, but this is a worthwhile book to add to your library. The photos are abundant done extremely well. If you learn from looking at pictures, this will be a great resource for you.
The author goes into great detail about alternate position shooting and also demonstrated a flashlight technique I had never seen.
