Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Dick Fairburn just might have written the definitive work on gunfighting. Not just about fighting, mind you, but on how to create a gunfighter. It's all here: mindset, tactics, and techniques . . . everything but the individual willingness to training and practice." ——Dave Spaulding, 2010 Law Enforcement Trainer of the Year, and author of Handgun Combatives and Defensive Living "I strongly recommend that you not just read but study and apply this excellent book." ——Dave Grossman, author of On Killing and On Combat It is not enough to just have a gun—it is also vital to be trained in the proper use of that weapon. That is what this book is all about. A veteran law enforcement officer and firearms trainer for more than 30 years, Richard Fairburn trained under the legendary Col. Jeff Cooper at Gunsite and Clint Smith at Thunder Ranch, and has all available NRA instructor certifications. In Building a Better Gunfighter, Fairburn has turned his remarkable skills toward teaching you to properly employ a firearm in combat. Fairburn's three-part training model is based on the three "Ms:" marksmanship, mechanics, and mindset. While this in itself is not unique, the cyclic system of training through all three Ms at a low level of competence before starting all over again with shorter time frames, tougher targets, and more realistic force-on-force scenarios is. The result is one of the finest gunfighter training resources available. The principles taught in this book apply equally to police officers, soldiers, and citizens alike. If you are a concerned citizen who chooses to go armed, for reasons of personal protection or as a part of your chosen profession, this book is for you. For if you choose to go armed, you must also choose to be competent in the use of your weapons, as well as being physically and mentally prepared for the rigors of personal combat. This book will assist you in that training.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Preface:On the frontier, says conventional wisdom, a structured society did not exist and social control was largely absent; law enforcement and the criminal justice system had limited, if any, influence; and danger--both from man and from the elements--was ever present. This view of the frontier is projected by motion pictures, television, popular literature, and most scholarly histories. But was the frontier really all that violent? What was the nature of the violence that did occur? Were frontier towns more violent that cities in the East? Has America inherited a violent way of life from the frontier? Was the frontier more violent than the United States is today? This book attempts to answer these questions and others about violence and lawlessness on the frontier and do so in a new way. Whereas most authors have drawn their conclusions about frontier violence from the exploits of a few notorious badmen and outlaws and from some of the more famous incidents and conflicts, I have chosen to focus on two towns that I think were typical of the frontier--the mining frontier specifically--and to investigate all forms of violence and lawlessness that occurred in and around those towns.

Book excerpt: When it was originally published in 1981, Training the Gunfighter was ahead of its time. It was one of the first comprehensive studies of the best ways to equip law officers to perform their duties--from choosing the best guns for the job to creating a realistic training program to understanding the legal implications of using their weapons. Now, former law-enforcement officer, practicing attorney, and current police trainer Tim Mullin brings Training the Gunfighter up to date, combining the time-honored information from the original book with fresh insights on preparing officers--and law-abiding citizens--to use deadly force against today's violent criminals. Mullin thoroughly discusses selection and use of combat firearms and ammunition for patrol- men, plainclothes investigators, off-duty officers, undercover cops, and legally armed citizens. He studies handguns, shotguns, rifles, and special-purpose weapons from a tactical and historical perspective--and comes to some surprising conclusions about semiautomatics vs. revolvers, the utility of the venerable .38 Special, the practical value of the 20-gauge shotgun, cost-effective training methods, adequate practice ranges, and dozens of other relevant topics.

Book excerpt: If you want to know what it really takes to prevail in a gunfight, you must go to a person who's been in them. Jim Cirillo is that person. As one of the top guns in the New York City Police Department Stakeout Squad, Cirillo participated in some of the most harrowing of the unit's 252 armed confrontations with the worst of New York's criminal element. He went on to become one of the most sought-after combat shooting instructors in the country. This book is packed with practical information that can come only from someone who has experienced the fear and intensity of an actual shootout. Find out what Cirillo has to say about how to handle the stress of a gunfight, the qualities of a good gunfighter, how to aim a handgun in the heat of combat, which types of bullets offer the best stopping power, the most vital single element to develop in training to survive a gun battle, plus hair-raising and humorous tales of life in one of the most elite units in law enforcement history."There is no better way to learn practical defensive shooting tactics and techniques than from an experienced instructor who has been there. Jim Cirillo has been there." --from the foreword by Ray Chapman

Book excerpt: Doc Holiday Matt Braun He came from the American South, a gentleman by breeding, a dentist by training, a gambler by vocation. But as Dr. John H. Holliday, a man fleeing his tragic past, drifted across the West, living among some of the roughest men on the frontier, word spread quickly he never walked away from a fight, and he never drew too late. Now, from Dodge City to Denver and Cheyenne, from boomtown to sinkholes, "Doc" Holliday was driven by the demons of his past, a skilled gambler and a seasoned mankiller--his name was known and feared long before the O.K. Corral. The story of a man who spoke softly and carried a lightning gun, Doc Holliday is Matt Braun's extraordinary chronicle of the West's most complex and legendary figure.

Book excerpt: Doug Engstrom imagines a future all too terrifying—and all too possible—in this eerie, dystopic speculative fiction debut about corporate greed, debt slavery, and gun violence that is as intense and dark as Stephen King’s The Long Walk. Like many Americans in the middle of the 21st century, aspiring actress Kira Clark is in debt. She financed her drama education with loans secured by a “lifetime services contract.” If she defaults, her creditors will control every aspect of her life. Behind on her payments and facing foreclosure, Kira reluctantly accepts a large signing bonus to become a corporate gunfighter for TKC Insurance. After a year of training, she will take her place on the dueling fields that have become the final, lethal stop in the American legal system. Putting her MFA in acting to work, Kira takes on the persona of a cold, intimidating gunslinger known as “Death’s Angel.” But just as she becomes the most feared gunfighter in TKC’s stable, she’s severely wounded during a duel on live video, shattering her aura of invincibility. A series of devastating setbacks follow, forcing Kira to face the truth about her life and what she’s become. When the opportunity to fight another professional for a huge purse arises, Kira sees it as a chance to buy a new life . . . or die trying. Structured around a chilling duel, Corporate Gunslinger is a modern satire that forces us to confront the growing inequalities in our society and our penchant for guns and bloodshed, as well as offering a visceral look at where we may be heading—far sooner than we know.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He was the deadliest gun in the West. Or was he? Ringo: the very name has come to represent the archetypal Western gunfighter and has spawned any number of fictitious characters laying claim to authenticity. John Ringo's place in western lore is not without basis: he rode with outlaw gangs for thirteen of his thirty-two years, participated in Texas's Hoodoo War, and was part of the faction that opposed the Earp brothers in Tombstone, Arizona. Yet his life remains as mysterious as his grave, a bouldered cairn under a five-stemmed blackjack oak. Western historian Jack Burrows now challenges popular views of Ringo in this first full-length treatment of the myth and the man. Based on twenty years of research into historical archives and interviews with Ringo's family, it cuts through the misconceptions and legends to show just what kind of man Ringo really was.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Design management as a recognised role in the built environment industry is relatively new, initially arising from the need for better co-ordination and delivery of design information from design teams to main contractors - particularly important as procurement routes involving contractor led design have become much more commonplace. The advent of design packages driven by specialist sub-contractors has also increased the need for co-ordination and management of the design process. With the growing complexity of construction projects, effective design management is increasingly central to project success. BIM, as it gains acceptance across the industry will undoubtedly have a huge impact on project delivery process and the role of the Design Manager. The CIOB Design Manager’s Handbook covers subjects such as design process and management tools, the role of the Design Manager, value management and innovation, procurement routes and implications, people dynamics, and factors that will affect the development of the Design Manager’s role in the future, including BIM. It will ensure Design Managers understand the processes, tools and skills that are required to be successful in the role, and will assist them in delivering real value to complex construction projects. Written for both the Design Manager practitioner and students on construction related degree courses, anyone interested in construction based design management will also find the book useful.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: True stories of the wild and dangerous world of the Arizona Territory—includes photos. A refuge for outlaws at the close of the 1800s, the Arizona Territory was a wild, lawless land of greedy feuds, brutal killings and figures of enduring legend. These gunfighters included heroes as well as killers, and some were considered both. Bandit Pearl Hart committed one of the last recorded stagecoach robberies in the country, and James Addison Reavis pulled off the most extraordinary real estate scheme in the West. But with fearless lawmen like C.P. Owens and George Ruffner at hand, swift justice was always nearby. In this collection of true stories, Arizona’s official state historian and celebrated storyteller Marshall Trimble brings to life the rough-and-tumble characters from the Grand Canyon State’s most terrific tales of outlawry and justice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Wesley Hardin was the son of a Methodist minister who named his second boy after the founder of his church. The Reverend wanted Wes to become a man of faith; along the way the Preacherman's son drifted. By the time Wes was 15 he shot and killed 4 men. These deaths were the gateway to a killing spree that lasted ten years. Not a serial killer the majority of Hardin's shootings were carried out in the old west tradition; the man with the fastest draw wins. By the time Hardin was 25 he had killed 42 men. Wes' life story reads like an old fashioned, page turning murder mystery. The action takes place immediately after the Civil War during the Reconstruction period. He was the most wanted man in the state; Texas Rangers, local Sheriffs, Union Soldiers and numerous bounty hunters frantically looked for John Wesley Hardin. If you enjoy a thriller Preacherman's Son will not disappoint. My heartfelt wish is you will enjoy reading my historical novel as much as I did penning the words.
