Remember those things called books?
I just got my Amazon orders in. I ordered Street Survival: Tactics for Armed Encounters and No Second Place Winner. Finished both of them in a couple of days. These are great books and IMO anyone who carries should read them. They're written for LE, but a lot of the techniques still apply to civilians.
Next on the list are:
Defensive Revolver Fundamentals: Protecting Your Life With the All-American Firearm
The Secrets of Double Action Shooting

You are correct. I have a few I should dust off and have a look at once again.

Ed McGivern's "Fast and Fancy Revolver Shooting" is pretty much mandatory reading. I've seen it for sale recently in a softcover version.

If you're a J-frame or DS fan, try Ed Lovette's The Snubby Revolver: The ECQ, Backup And Concealed Carry Standard.

You should also read Fast and Fancy Revolver Shooting, by Ed McGivern. The title was designed by the original publisher to be sensational in order to draw readers back in the old days, but contained in the book are some very excellent pointers for becoming highly skilled in the handling of a double action revolver.

BOOKS
I remember them well. My grandfather was a bookbinder in Manhattan from the 20's- 60's and had quite the collection of first editions. Now that we are older & downsizing you can't even give them away. It kills me to throw books away but we just don't have the room. Kindle & the net has replaced them,(to a great degree) for younger generations unfortunately.

I have over 300 books in my collection - mostly paper back - predominately Science Fiction. Along with 200 movies - 100 CDs - and 50 or so video games. I also have something like 15 internet connected devices in the house - but then both my work and hobby (outside of shooting and reloading) involve computers, and I have been a technophile since the early 1980s.

We have three bookshelves in this room, two in the next one, and
one half-full of cookbooks in the kitchen.
Bookcases in the hall upstairs and in two of the rooms. Then there's the
attic. Lots of gun books, fishing books, novels, and history in the total accumulation.
We do remember books.
I'm reading "Black Light" by Stephen Hunter currently.

Nope. They won't like to either. Just send them over to me!
Just bought Mass Ayoobs latest book on Concealed Carry to read on my flight to Hawaii in two weeks.

I don't like reading "computer books" and ALWAYS opt for a REAL BOOK if it is available. Unfortunately, I think they will soon go the way of the horse & buggy.
