Very informative.

[Grant Jackson · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book challenges you to take action.

I fear that many people purchase handguns but don’t take it seriously. Grant Cunningham gives the reader a great start on learning to be proficient with their chosen firearm in this book. The snub nose revolver is a viable option for self defense and I feel better about having chosen it after reading this book.

[Michael Gershfeld · Rating 5 out of 5]

Read this even if you like semi-autos!

I highly recommend this book. Grant lays down the foundational considerations for responsible concealed carry. After decades of carrying Glocks I mostly carry a stubby now. The transition required time and effort, this knowledge cut the curve!

Take this to the bank


This is my second book by Cunningham. It is second because he is so knowledgeable...reading his views both remind me and teach me. Thank you

[David Shimm · Rating 3 out of 5]

Informative, but generally repeats much of what the author has said in other books devoted to the revolver.

[Karna Bennett · Rating 5 out of 5]

I’ve never fired a snubnose so this book was a great read to self-educate about the virtues and vices of the snubby and to be more prepared when I head to the range for the first time with my new snubnose.

Excellent realistic concealed weapons info applicable to auto or revolver

Grant Cunningham provides common sense, totally realistic and practical guidance on handgun handling in a stress-filled life threatening situation: handle the weapon from the natural fight-or-flight postiion your body will assume when threatened. Forget arguing over "Isoceles or Weaver" stance, because both are equally useless when your body naturally assumes the fight-or-flight-stance when you are facing a life-or-death moment confronted by a predator who will kill you the split second you give him the opening.

For new concealed weapons permit holders, I HIGHLY recommend your first gun be a small-frame 5-shot 38/357 revovler, firing 38 Special +P ammo.
*The primary reason is that when you can competently handle and fire that small-frame 38, you will be able to handle ANY handgun with competence and accuracy. The small-frame double-action revolver will quickly reveal the weakenesses in an individual's pistol shooting capability. I will say this bluntly and to the point: if YOU cannot accurately and effectively fire a small frame 38 revolver, then YOU are not a competent pistol shooter because YOU have major weaknesses in your pistol shooting techniques that need to be addressed.
*The secondary reason for the small-frame 38 revovler, is that often the small-frame 38 is the only serious-caliber, reliable weapon that will be concealable in a light-clothing situation. This is why so many small-frame 38's are STILL carried in the day of the polymer-framed auto-pistol.

The small-framed 38 revolver is a timeless design, that remains practical, capable, effective, and incredibly reliable, even in the 21st Century. Grant Cunningham has literally written the book on practical use of this timeless handgun. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED is an understatement.
