APPLETON, Wis. – Gun Digest Books, a division of Gun Digest Media, has released a new edition of one of Massad Ayoob’s most popular titles, The Gun Digest Book of Combat Handgunnery.

This revised and expanded seventh edition details the many aspects of using a handgun to defend yourself and your loved ones in life-threatening situations.

In Combat Handgunnery, Ayoob expands upon lessons learned in his life-long study of self-defense, which includes 40 years as an expert witness in firearms and shooting cases, both criminal and civil. He breaks down topics such as choosing a handgun, picking the right holster, training techniques to improve shooting skills, understanding ammunition selection, CQB (close-quarters battle) fighting techniques, and hardware and accessories to help both new and experienced handgunners become more proficient.
