CREATESPACE Practical Pistol Reloaded

Jak w nagłówku. Kupiłem kilka jego książek i sporo z nich skorzystałem choć ewidentnie pisane pod rynek amerykański

Peccato solo che non esiste un traduzione il lingua italiana. Per il resto il libro è il massimo per chi comincia. Nonostante sia scritto in lingua inglese, basta avere un minimo di famigliarità per leggerlo e capirlo. Il libro tratta di fondamenti del tiro in movimento e speiga perché si fanno determinati movimenti e non. In questo libro si parla anche di tematiche come grip, postura e trigger control.

I have all the Stoeger books because they make you a GM by just reading them (although I haven't figured out how yet)... All kidding aside I grabbed this more so to see what was different from the first iteration, and I wasn't disappointed. The rewrite is pretty fantastic actually. I love reading materials that are current to the times (there are a lot decent books out there that should follow suite) Stoeger has reworked and updated this book to make it relevant. The competition is different now that it was 10 - 5 - even a few years ago and Reloaded improves on all of that and actually offers some great information on it. If you are just starting out in Practical shooting this book is a literal GOLDMINE for you. If you are a seasoned shooter this book still offers a ton of great content. I will say this though - Don't go in to reading this book with the premise is that all you need to do is read it and you will get better - it may help a bit, but you need to actually APPLY what you are reading and get out there and practice. When you do that, the $20 bucks you spend on this book is damn well worth it.

The new, reloaded version is well worth the cost. It's a no brainer for anyone starting to shoot USPSA matches. But it's also useful for experienced shooters. I read the first version when it came out three years ago. I also attended one of Ben's classes. At the time I was an A class shooter. Since then I've moved into M class. But I've discovered that making progress now is all about the "little" things, especially marksmanship fundamentals. Reading through the updated book has helped me re-focus on what I need to improve on in order to shoot with the accuracy and consistency necessary for winning stages and matches. So even though I'm been shooting USPSA for a while now, I've highlighted at least one or two things in each chapter to work on in dry-fire and live-fire training. A lot of the books on shooting have either too much "philosophy" in them or they just don't give the kind of practical down-to-earth advice someone needs to make real improvements in one's performance in matches. Anyone who wants to improve his competition pistol shooting and is willing to train at home and on the range with some regularity will find the advice in this book extremely valuable.

First off this is a great book. Probably one of the best on pistol shooting fundamentals. It’s great if you’re a new or casual gun owner, or if you’re looking to get into USPSA or IDPA competition shooting. This book is very comprehensive. My one issue is there’s very little emphasis on pistol optics, as this edition is from 2016. In 2024, almost everyone who competes uses an optic (including Ben). Most law enforcement officers and many casual gun owners have also moved to optics as well. The vast majority of the techniques in this book are important fundamentals no matter what sighting system you use, so it’s still a very valuable book even if you use a dot. However, I would like to see a new edition of this book with a greater discussion of using optics.
