Publisher's Synopsis

Who didn't enjoy the movie scene where Indiana Jones blasted a sword-wielding opponent with his six-shooter? If he's got a knife then just shoot him - right? Isn't that all there is to it? It always works (and looks) great in the movies, but what about in real life? What about the real-world officers both patrol and correctional as well as other operating professionals who really have been there and tried that and it didn't work? Why is the "21-foot Rule" such a critical factor and what can you do to beat the odds stacked against you? What if it really happened to you - how would you react? Sure, you may carry a gun, but are you truly prepared to beat a surprise edged weapon attack and walk away in one piece? What qualification drills can you run to test your skills? Join leading subject matter expert Steve Tarani as he guides you step-by-step through this easy-to-follow tutorial on how to defeat a "knife fight" with a firearm. Scope of study includes: Anatomy of a "Knife Fight", 28 real-world reasons why your gun may not be the first choice, utilizing the Two-second Rule, finding optimal Range and Position, defeating the Action-Reaction Power Curve, how to reduce Liability (personal injury) and Reactionary Gaps, utilizing the Second-hand Rule, shooting from Retention Position, transitions, critical on and off-range training drills, and most importantly - how to not fight but win with a gun.
