Book Review- Tactical Firearms Training Secrets by David Morris

    This is a short book (100 pages) that you can finish in less than an hour. Someone with extensive firearms training will not learn too much, but most of the tactics and techniques the author presents are very solid.   Where this book really shines is in the author’s suggested structured practice sessions.
