There is an old line that the pistol is the gun you use to fight your way back to your rifle. For the people who carry one as their primary, there is no rifle to get back to.

01 — The Manual

Built for the gun on your body.

The plainclothes officer, the protective agent, the investigator, the off-duty professional, the civilian who carries every day. For all of them, the pistol is the gun actually on the body, concealed and at hand, and the gun that has to do the work.

A complete manual on carrying and fighting with the pistol — for offense and defense alike. Brand-neutral and principle-driven, built to serve civilians, law enforcement, military, and professional security to the same standard.

Every recommendation is grounded in function. Every standard is measurable. Every claim can be tested on a timer and a target.

02 — Inside

What you will find.

  • 01

    A complete skill progression — from marksmanship and the drawstroke to movement, cover, close-quarters, and low-light.

  • 02

    Dry-fire and live-fire drill libraries, every drill scored against standards at three levels.

  • 03

    A skills-audit system of cold qualifications you run, score, and log — so erosion shows up before it costs you.

  • 04

    Training programs you can run as written: 30-day, 90-day, and annual cycles, with self-assessment at one, three, and five years.

  • 05

    Equipment chosen on function — holsters, carry methods, ammunition, lights, and sights.

  • 06

    Force-on-force, vehicle and home defense, and preparing the people around you.

  • 07

    A carry and maintenance routine that keeps the whole system reliable.

  • 08

    Long-arc sustainment: the standard is simple and unforgiving — you are only as capable as you can prove cold.

03 — The Authors

Intelligence operations. Combat deployments. Executive protection. Firearms instruction across multiple continents.
