The Premise: Violence is a universal constant in human history, whether it's carried out with bare hands, clubs, edged weapons, or firearms. As author Tiger McKee puts it, "The firearm is simply a tool...ultimately, we fight with our minds." This underlying martial arts philosophy serves as the foundation for an informal yet thorough manual for firearm-based combatives. By McKee's own admission, this book was never intended to be published – it was a personal journal written in the early 2000s that documented lessons learned while training with his carbine and sidearm of choice. The entire book was handwritten by the author and is interspersed with sketches and diagrams. In line with this style, tone is conversational, and there are frequent spelling and grammar errors (we noticed half a dozen on the first page alone). The majority of this book's content is focused on fighting with a 1911 pistol and AR-15.
