Despite the fact that self-loading pistols have become standard weapons in the police and army and are becoming increasingly popular among ordinary citizens, short-barreled revolvers are not losing ground. Such weapons have always been available in a variety of calibers, sizes and designs and continue to serve as reliable backup weapons for police officers and as weapons for armed citizens. The author of this book, former CIA operative Ed Lovet, gives credit to short-barreled revolvers, maintaining their reputation as An excellent choice for concealed carry, a backup weapon, or a weapon for ultra-short range combat. He also reviews key issues with short-barreled revolvers, such as grip, sights, trigger operation, and limited ammunition, and offers solutions based on his experience. The second part of the book is devoted to the tactical features of using short-barreled revolvers in various situations for self-defense, up to extreme cases such as pursuit or attack on a car. The book will be useful to anyone interested in an objective and practice-oriented point of view on short-barreled revolvers.
