In his day, Chic Gaylord was the "top gun" in the world of combat shooting, enjoying a reputation as one of the fastest and most accurate shooters around. This Paladin collector's edition of Handgunner's Guide is a faithful reproduction of his 1960 classic that revolutionized the holster industry (even today Gaylord is considered the premiere designer of modern concealment holsters) and, to a great extent, changed the way we view tactics and techniques to survive and win a gunfight. Although some of the weapons discussed in this book are no longer available, a surprising amount of the information is still as tactically sound and relevant today as it was 40 years ago when used by a wide variety of U.S. federal and local law enforcement agencies and several European and Latin American countries to train their elite shooters. This release is intended to provide an accurate account of Chic Gaylord's genius and his craft and to perpetuate it for new generations of shooters.

A classic book on the subject of handguns and handgun leather. Some of the comments are dated but the basics are still solid some 50 years after publication. The holster designs are simple but solid and foolproof. Highly recommended.
